  1. This should be Stodfalt (F.W.R.).
  2. The Westbury in Mursley Hundred was held as Westbury ' in Senle ' by Thomas fitz Eustace in 1284-6 (Feudal Aids, i. 82), and it seems to be his holding which is subsequently entered as ' Little Shenley.' But it is the other Westbury to which feudal descent points as having been held by Roger. The Hundredal heading however must be deemed decisive (J.H.R.).
  3. Wulfwig, Bishop of Lincoln (J.H.R.).
  4. The name of the Hundred is here omitted. It should be Stodfalt (F.W.R.).
  5. In Stowe.
