A HISTORY OF NORTHAMPTONSHIRE instance in the (lost) manor of ' Celverdescote,' which in Domesday is a single whole, but in this Survey is divided between three Hundreds. A careful student of this Survey has suggested to me that the proportion of its 'small virgate ' to the Marge' or Domesday virgate can be traced in certain other Hundreds as well as in these in which the proportion was 5 to 2 as explained above (p. 358), in consequence of their assessment having been reduced 60 per cent. In ' Stotfolde ' Hundred for instance, the ' small virgate ' seems to be ^^ hide at Maid- well (though it is, strangely enough, j^ hide at Clipston), and in Wimersley Hundred it is 1^ hide at Horton. But we nowhere find such clear evidence as in those Hundreds where the ' small virgate ' was ^ hide, that is, in the proportion of 5 to 2 to the ' large virgate ' (i hide). It may be convenient to append the order in which the Survey enters the Hundreds : Hokeslawe, Navesford (p. 365), Pokebroc (p 366), Nass, Sutton (p. 367), Albodestowe (p. 368), Wardon (p. 369) Graveshende Falewesle (p. 370), Aylwoldesle (p. 371), Norton (p. 372) Toucestre (p. 373), Cleyle (p. 374), Wymeresle (p. 375), Hecham (p 376), Neubotlegrave (p. 377), Gildesboru (p. 378), Mallesle (p. 380) Speleho (p. 381), Anfordesho, Orlingberge (p. 382), Stotfolde (p. 383) Rowell (p. 384), Stokes, Coreby (p. 386), Wylebrok (p. 387), Suth- naveslunt (p. 388), Northnaveslunt (p. 389). The modern equivalents will be found above (p. 297). 364
