page 157 note * In the roll of the Exchequer of the 31st year of the reign of King Henry the First, under Oxonefordscira, is this entry:—“Walterius Archidiaconus reddit compotum de .c. et quater .xx. marcis argenti pro placito quod fuit inter eum et Restoidum Vicecomitem. In thesauro .lxviii. solidi. Et debet .c. et .xvi. libras et .xii. solidos.” Walter de Wallingford was archdeacon of Oxford in the diocese of Lincoln, in the years 1104 and 1151. The abbot of Peterborough in this reign was called John de Seez, from his having been a monk of the abbey of St. Martin of Seez:, in Normandy, and died of a dropsy on the fourteenth day of October, in the year of the Lord 1125. After his death the King kept the monastery in his own hands for two years and a half, appointing a successor in the year 1128. Hence the time of this accompt being rendered will have embraced the. interval between the years 1125 and 1128. The appointment of his successor will be found in the Chronicon Petroburgense under this last year, in which Easter Day fell on the 22nd day of April, .x. kalendas Maii.

On folio .ix. verso, in the margin, are these insertions in an early hand, containing references to the survey of Scotere and Scaletorp;—Thus a mark over”Acche” in the text refers to this entry, “Odo tenet.” Another mark over “filii Goduini” refers to this entry, “Robertus de Placia.” A third mark over “Lancelin” refers to this entry, “Adam de. Scalthorp.” Two marks over “Suein “and “filii Tocche” refer to this entry, “In Villenagio.” A sixth mark over “Rodbertus miles” refers to this entry, “Herbertus Fauvel tenet.” Three marks by the side of “Paganus presbiter,” “Harcer de Lincolia,” and “Askillus piscator,” refer to this entry, “In Villenagio.”
page 169 note * All enclosed between brackets is a later addition of the time of king Henry the Third, as appears by the mention of Martin de Ramsey, second of the name, Abbot of Peterborough. In the history of the monastery of Burgh by Hugh Candidus, p. 53, we have “Galfridus de Sancto Medardo tenet de Sancto Petro et de abbate et conventu de Burch in Northamtonesyre decem hydas, et tres partes unius virgatse terras, scilicet in Thornhauue, Weteringe, Sibertone, et Ettone, et pertinentiis eorum. Et in Lincolnesyre tres carrucatas terrae, scilicet in Angoteby et pertinentiis suis, et inde facit plenum servitium sex militum.” He then copies this manuscript as to King William. Under “Primus feoffatus Asketillus de Sancto Medardo,” Hugh Candidus has copied this enclosed portion in all respects save one, namely, the substitution of the name of Matthaei for Martini, doubtless an error of the press. The following entry upon the Roll of the Exchequer of the thirty-first year of the reign of King Henry the First, under Norhamtescira, ascertains the time of the decease of Richard de Saint Medard, the heir of Anketel de Saint Medard :—“Willelmus Flandrensis reddit compotum de .xxxii. marcis argenti pro Mabilia uxore Ricardi de Saneto Medardo cum dote sua. In thesauro .iiii. librae. Et debet .xxvi. marcas argenti.” In Domesday, Anschetillus, vassal of the Abbot of Peterborough, holds Osgotebi(Ingoldsby) in Lincolnshire.
page 170 note * In the margin are lines drawn connecting the first and third entries :— Over “Ricardus Enganie,” “Iste fuit filius Viel, et pater Ricardi, qui modo est;” and in the margin “Engaine,” in different ink, and of later insertion ; and the same remarks apply to the following entries :—Over “Viel Enganie en Torp,” “Iste fuit avus Ricardi Engaine qui modo est.” In the margin, “In Haregrave et in Piehtesle. Pater Fulconis de Lisurea.” The same writer, p. 61, under “De Engayne,” has, “Vitalis fuit pater Fulconis de Lisures, et Ricardi Engayne, qui genuit secundum Ricardum. Vitalis Engayne tenet in Thorpe tres virgatas, et in Haregrave dimidiam hidam, et in Pyteteslee hidam et dimidiam, et unam virgatam, et facit tres partes servitii unius militis, secundum rationem unius militis totum servitium. In the margin, opposite “Rogerius Infans,” “Torpel.” The same, p. 54, “Torpel. Primus Rogerus infans. Rogerus de Torpel tenet in Northamptonescire duodecim hydas terrse, scilicet in Torpel, Makeseye, Ufforde, Pilketone, Clapethorn, Cotherstoke, Northburch, Leaulme, Badingtone et Estone et pertinentiis suis, et inde facit servicium sex militum.” Over Gosfridus, “Galfridus ;” in margin,” Gunethorp.” “Thomas filius Roberti de Gunthorpe tenet octo hydas terræ in Norhamtonscire; scilicet in Gunthorp, Suthorpe, Stoke, Hemmintone, et inde facit servitium trium militum plenus.” In the margin, opposite the fifth entry, “Torp et Marham.” “Marham. Primus Ascelinus de Watervile. Reginaldus de Waterville tenet tresdecim hidas terrae et duas partes unius virgatse in Norhamtonscire, scilicet in Thorp (Waterville), Asechirche, Marham, Cloptone, Tichemerse, et inde facit servitium trium militum. Et preterea tenet unam hidam et unam virgatam terrae, pro decem solidos per annum, quos reddit ad altare sancti Petri die sancti Michaelis, per cartam. On the next page are insertions in the margin, oppoaite to each entry, as follows:—“De Burgele. De Johanne de Dovre. De la Mare, de Makesei, et Turlebi. Suthtona.” In Domesday:—“Northantone, Willelmus Inganie .i. domum de Roberto de Boci, et nil reddit. Ricardus Inganie .iiii. domus de .iiii. solidis.” Under “Terra Ricardi” are entered two hides in Stabintona (Sibberton), three roods in Benefeld (Benefield), four hides in Abintone (Abington), and one rood in Chercheberie (Churchfield); and under “Terra Willelmi” two hides in Piteslea, adding, “These lands of Richard and William were held by Alwin the huntsman, in the time of King Edward.” The same William had “one hide and a half in Lastone (Laxton), which Turulf had held.” Richard Inganie held two hides and a half in Senelai (Shenley), in Buckinghamshire ; and William Inganie four hides and a half in Redinges (Ripton), in Huntingdonshire. The issue of William Inganie were two sons, Vitalis and Richard. The latter was deceased in the reign of Henry the First, for in the roll named above Hugh de Auco is a debtor in 300 marks of silver for the land and the daughter of Richard Ingaine, and his office of forester in Northamptonshire. Vitalis Inganie in the same county rendered accompt of the ferm of the land of William de Lusoriis for three parts of the year. In the treasury 18li. and he is quit. And the same Vitalis rendered accompt of 13li. 10s. for the rent of the forest. Irt the treasury 10li. 16s. and in tythea agreed upon 24s.; and he owes 30s. And the same Vitalis renders accompt of one palfrey to have back his land of Laxton. He had acquitted himself to the King of one palfrey by the King's writ; and he is quit. Hence Alwin the huntsman had also the forest in the time of King Edward, and it was divided between these brothers by King William. This Vitalis Engaine by his marriage with the daughter and heiress of William de Lizures acquired the manor of Blatherwycke, held of Robert de Buci in the hundred of Corby by one Norman in Domesday, and was succeeded by his son Richard, who first founded a priory for Canons Regular of the order of St. Augustine, in the adjoining parish of Fineshade, on a site called the Castle of Hymel at that time, now St. Mary of Fineshade, and as mentioned in a charter of his son Richard, printed in M. A.,N. E. vol. vi. p. 449, and the continuation of his pedigree. In the same county Robert de Torpello renders accompt of 60 marks for having back his land. In the treasury 14 marks of silver ; and he owes 50 marks. Roger de Torpello renders aecompt of ten marks for the mortgage of Chircheton, and for the pleas of the treasury. In the treasury 4li. and he owes 4 marks of silver. In the same county Geoffrey de Gunetorp renders accompt of ten marks of silver. In the treasury 40s., and owes 7 marks of silver. In the same county, on the Roll, William son of Ralph renders accompt of four marks of silver, and two palfreys for the land of his father, which Hugh de Areci had in custody. In the treasury forty shillings ; and he owes one mark of silver, and two palfreys. Ralph de Lamare renders accompt of three ounces of gold for the money of the Abbot of Peterborough ; and of forty marks of silver, so as he may not plead of his land against his nephews. In the treasury seven pounds eight shillings and four pence. And he owes twenty-one pounds and ten shillings. The tenant of Burghleigh under the Abbot of Peterborough was Goisfridus in Domesday. The same writer, p. 56. “De Suttone.—Primus Ansketillus de Suttone. De feodo Thoroldi de Suttone in Northamptonscire, sunt tres hidae, scilicet in Suttone, et inde debetur plenum servitium duorum militum, sed sokemanni et alii tenentes totum faciunt.”

page 176 note * The statement that one-half of the manor of Walcot at Threckingham was in demesne, and the other half socage, is explained by the account in Domesday:—“Land of St. Peter of Burg. Lincolnescire. Manor. In Walecote St. Peter of Burg had and has five carucates of land subject to Danegeld. Land to six ploughs. Now Gislebert, the vassel of the abbot, has there one plough, and six villains and five boors with two ploughs, and a church ; and fourteen sokemen of two earucates, having four ploughs. One-half of the soke is of St. Peter, and the other half of Gislebert de Gand belongs to Polkingham. There thirty acres of meadow. In the time of King Edward it was worth eight pounds, now four pounds. Soke of Walecote.—In Hedebi two bovates of land subject to Danegeld. Land to one bovate and a half. There one sokeman ploughs with two oxen. Ivo holds it.” Under the headings, “Land of Gislebert de Gand “and “Manor in Folkingham “is this entry:—”Soke. In Waleote four carucates of land, subject to Danegeld. Land to five ploughs. There twenty-two sokemen and four boors, and half a church and twenty-six acres of meadow.” Walcot is a parish in the wapentake of Aveland, parts of Kesteven, one mile and a half from Polkingham, and adjacent to Threckingham. The church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, had not been appropriated to the Priory of Sempringham in 1251, according to the taxation of Pope Nicholas, P. 61. Kesteven. Decanatus de Aveland. Ecclesia de Walcote preter porcionem 12li. 13s. 4d. Porcio decimarum Abbatis de Bardenay in eadem 1li. Some member of the family of Gand gave these tythes to the abbey of Bardney ; but probably it was the Abbey of Peterborough which eventually ceded its rights to this advowson. At the Dissolution the rectory was valued at 12li. 19s. 5d. ; the curacy at 3li. Thurlby, a parish in the wapentake of Ness, parts of Kesteven, contains the hamlets of Obthorpe and Northorp, and the church, dedicated to St. Firmin, was appropriated to the nunnery of St. Michael, in Stamford-Baron, com. North™; and at the Dissolution the rectory was valued at 18li. 4s. The distinction between Turufesbi and Torolbi in this manuscript is explained by two entries in Domesday. The manor of Turolvebi, of three earucates and five bovates, is said to have been held as Walcot; but the manor of Turolvebi, of one carucate and a half, is described as having been the land of Elnod, and free-soke under Aslac, and as held under the abbot by Godfrey. Hence the description “de terra hominum suorum.” The single carucate in demesne in the parish of Uffington must have been acquired since the Domesday survey, as the only entries respecting property of the abbey in it are the following:—” In Uffington St. Peter of Burg has forty-eight acres of meadow, free from Danegeld. These holds Godfrey, and the villains of the abbot. In the time of King Edward they were worth 20 shillings ; now likewise.” Under “land of the Countess Judith” we read, “in Uffington Leuric Abbot of St. Peter of Burg had sixty acres free from Danegeld. Judith the countess has this land. She has no cattle upon it; but she cultivates it as parcel of the manor of Belmesthorp.” Under “claims in Chetsteven,” “the wapentake (of Ness) says that sixty acres of land, which the Countess Judith has, and cultivates with the ploughs of Belmesthorp, St. Peter of Burg had in the time of King Edward. Of these sixty acres of land and of the forty-eight acres of meadow, the wardenship (warnode) lies in Uffington, the manor of Alured of Lincoln ; but it is with-drawn by force.” “The land of the Countess Judith,” in Northantonscire, contains these entries concerning Rutland, as well as in Lincolnshire. “The Countess Judith holds of the king one hide and a half in Riehale. There is land to eight ploughs with the appendages. In demesne is one, and four bondmen and ten villains, and four sokemen have four ploughs. There two mills of 36s. Forest 4 quarantenes long and two quarentenes broad. Belmestorp belongs to this manor. There one hide and a half, and in demesne two ploughs, and fourteen villains, and six boors have four ploughs. There a mill of 10s. 8d. and sixteen acres of meadow. The whole wasand is worth six pounds.” Kyall, a parish in the hundred of East, county of Rutland, containing, with the hamlet of Belmesthorp, 439 inhabitants. Under “Land of Alvred of Lincoln Manor,” “In the same vill (Uffington) Leduinus had one carucate of land, subject to Danegeld. Land to one plough. There Alured has four sokemen of four bovates of this land, and three villains with one plough, and nine burgesses of Stamford rendering four shillings, and twenty acres of meadow. In the time of King Edward, and now, it was and is worth 30s.” This is doubtless the manor which came to the abbey of Peterborough. In Domesday there are separate entries as to lands in Witham-on-the-hill, a parish in the wapentake of Beltisloe, parts of Kesteven, containing the hamlets of Manthorpe and Toft-with-Lound: first, after Adewelle “in Witham and Manthorpe, and Toftlound is a berewick of half a carucate, which Ansfrid holds ;” second, “a manor in the same places where Hereward had twelve bovates of land subject to Danegeld. Land to one plough and a half. There Asuert, the vassel of abbot Turold, has six villains and four boors, and two sokemen with two ploughs, and twenty acres of meadow, and forty acres of wood.” The parish of West or Castle Bytham in the same wapentake, comprises the chapelry of Holy well with Awnby, the township of Castle Bytham, and the hamlet of Counthorpe. The manor of Bytham, of four earueates, in this manuscript is evidently identical with this entry in Domesday: “Berewick of Bergestorp is in Bytham, of four earueates of land, subject to Danegeld. This land is the demesne of St. Peter of Burgh.” Doubtless this berewick was the now hamlet of Aunby. The next entry in this manuscript is “Breidestorp, containing five earueates;” and evidently identical with this entry in Domesday, “In Adewell St. Peter of Burg had and has five earueates of land, subject to Danegeld.” The only mention of Bredestorp in Domesday is under the “land of Drogo de Bevrere,” where it is overlined “hundred.” Manor. In Bredestorp, Earl Morear had seven carucates of land subject to Danegeld. Soke in West Bitham. The same tenant held West Bitham, Little Bitham, and Counthorp. Hence Holywell and Awnby were the lands of the abbey, for the number of carucates correspond. The next entry “Ansgotesbi of five carucates,” is identical with the “Osgotebi of Domesday,” also, of five carucates, which refers to the township of Osgodby, in the parish of Lavington, wapentake of Beltisloe, parts of Kesteven. The two next entries refer to the parish of East Deeping, in the wapentake of Ness, and correspond with this entry in Domesday, under “land of Godefrey de Cambrai:”— “In the same (East Deeping) St. Peter de Burg had five sokemen upon five manors of two carueates of land and six bovates subject to Danegeld. Land to as many ploughs and oxen. There two vassals of Godefrey have one plough and a half, and twelve villains with three ploughs and a half, and one fishery of 12d. and sixty acres of meadow. In the time of King Edward it was worth 60s. now 50s. Tallage 12s.” Under land of St. Peter of Burg, after the survey of the manor in Witham and Manthorpe and Toftlound, is this entry, “Berewick of this manor in Barholme and Stowe one carucate of land subject to Danegeld. Land to one plough. There Asford has two villains and two boors with one plough. In the same, one carucate of land subject to Danegeld. Land to one plough. The soke in Burg. Now Godefrey, the vassal of the abbot, has nine sokemen, and one villain, and two boors, with two ploughs. Robert holds one half. In the time of King Edward it was worth twenty shillings, now twenty likewise. In Stowe soke in Witham, four bovates of land and a half subject to Danegeld. Land to as many oxen. There Asford has of the abbot one villain and two sokemen with half a plough. In the same place, two bovates of land subject to Danegeld. Land to two oxen. The soke is attached to the fabric of St. Peter of Burg. There Godefrey has of the abbot one villain and two sokemen with half a plough. In the time of King Edward it was worth three shillings, now likewise.” This reduction is thus explained among the claims in the west riding of Lindsey: “In the hundred of Torp in the time of King Edward Siward Rufus had one carucate of land with sac and soke ; and little while since Ralph de Neville had held it of Abbot Turold ; but he had not thereof from him livery of seizin. Now it is deraigned to the use of the King.” The two next entries relate to six bovates in Torp, and to three carueates and a half in Scotton. In Domesday, Scotton is put down at six carueates, with one carucate in Torp, soke of this manor. In the claims of Kesteven is this entry: “The Abbot of Burg claims one bovate of land against Drogo in the hundred of Witham. The wapentake says that it ought to be the land of St Peter, and the soke of Gislebert de Gand in Edenham. In Bytham hundred Ratbodus ought to have one carucate of land, which he claims ; but the soke is of St. Peter of Burg.” Northorpe is a parish in the wapentake of Corringham, as also is Scotton, which adjoins it; Scotter is a parish in the same, and Cleatham is a township in the parish of Manton in the same. Scotterthorp and Yawthorp are places in the same. In the catalogue of tenants holding lands in the several wapentakes of Lindsey, of the eighth year of the reign of King Henry the First, A.D. 1108, is this statement as to that of Corringham, in the west riding: “The Abbot of Burc has in Scottou six carueates, and in Scotter eight carucates, and in Scotterthorp three carueates, and in Yawthorp (overlined Herbert) four bovates, and in Torp (overlined Herbert) four bovates, and in Torp (overlined R(adulfus) de villa one carucate, and in Cleatham one carucate. Herbert.” The right reading is Nevilla, as in Domesday, where Lolestorp occurs for Yawthorp. Thus the manor of Cleatham is rightly fixed at seven bovates, as in this manuscript, with a reference to its owner, Alfnoth or Alnod. Between him and Aschil the manor of Scitter was in equal moieties, both as to demesne and soeage.
The next entries in this manuscript relate to the wapentake of Manley in the same division, and in the catalogue we have: “The Abbot of Bure has in Aukborough one carucate, and in Walcote six carucates and six bovates, and in Messingham four carucates and six bovates and a half, and in Holm three carucates, and in Raventhorp one carucate and six bovates, and in Manton two carucates, and in Hibaldstow one carucate and two bovates, and in Risby three bovates, and in Normanby and in Ashby three bovates and a half, which and Nigel hold.” It is evident that the property of this abbey had increased since these two surveys in this wapentake, for we have here seven and a half carucates in Walecote, and another half soke of the manor of West Halton belong to Earl Hugh of Chester. In Domesday the sole entry as to Appleby and Risby and Sawcliff gives three bovates as its contingent ; but here we have a whole carucate in Appleby, of which the Queen had the soke, and another in Risby in demesne of the land of Fin. The lands in Broughton and Scawby are also additions, as well as the lands in Bottesford and Froddingham ; and elsewhere there is an increase in the number of bovates. As to the lands in the wapentake of Lawress, in the same division, the catalogue has this statement: “The abbot of Burc has in Seotherne and Sudbrook four carucates and four bovates,and in Fiskerton three carucates, and in Reepham four carucates and six bovates.” In Domesday the soke of this manor of Fiskerton, in Scothorne, and Holme, and Sudbrook, is stated to be five carucates of land and one half. In this manuscript only five carucates are mentioned, omitting the half carucate. In the Testa de Nevill for the county of Lincoln these earlier entries of the reign of King John occur ; thus in the wapentake of Aveland “Abbas de Burgo habet tres partes feodi unius militis in Walecot, quas Robertus de Hascebi tenet de eo. In the wapentake of Ness, “Abbas de Burgo habet in villa de Turleby servicium unius militis et dimidii, et Brianus de la Mara tenet. Abbas de Burgo habet in Estdeping et in Stoue et in Berham servicium tercie partis feodi unius militis, quod Baldewinus Waeke tenet in dominico.” In the wapentake of Beltisloe, “Abbas de Burgo tenet in Karleby et Bihael feoda .ii. militum, que Baldewinus Wacke tenet.

Under the later inquisitions, taken pursuant to a writ tested at Westminster 9 December, 27 Hen. III. 1242, in the several wapentakes of Holland, Kesteven, and Lindsey, these entries occur as to the tenures of the Abbots of Peterborough.

In the counties of Nottingham and Derby is this entry:—” Baldewinus de Panton tenet in North Muschamp dimidium feodum militis de feodo abbatis de Burgo.” In the county of Northampton, under these hundreds, “Pokesbroc, Navisford, Hokeslawe, Suthnaveslond, Northnaveslond et Nassus Burgi.” This entry:—” Feoda forinseca militum, que sunt infra libertatem abbatis de Burgo, et non tenentur in capite de abbate.
