  • There can be no doubt that this is Ashingdon

just as ' Nestuda ' (three entries below it) is East- wood. Moreover Ashingdon is known to have been held of the Honour of Raylcigh. The modern 'ing* is a corruption, as in Huntingdon ; the name is Assindon ' in Harl. Cart. 48 G. 4, and ' Assandun ' in the A.S. Chronicle. 6 See p. 407, note 3, above ; and compare p. 454 for Winstree Hundred and p. 489 for Clavering Half Hundred. 6 In Mundon (see pp. 387, 381, 393 above). 487
