- Mr. Stuart Moore distinguishes, in his
translation and his index, Eltington, the ' Eltetone' of Domesday, from Elkington, ' its Etendone ' (see p. 347 below). But all three entries refer, as Bridges made them do, to Eltington (now corruptly Elkington). ^ Mr. Stuart Moore makes this to be ' Easton Neston ' (* Estanestone ' in Domes- day), but on fo. 222 b. above, he renders ' Etenestone ' (in ' Foxle ' Hundred) as Ad- stone, which place also seems to be represented by the ' Etenestone ' on this page, for Adstone lay just south of Wood Preston and Farthing- stone. The same (Alvred) holds i^ virgates of land in Prestetone [Wood Preston].* There is land for I plough. It is waste. The same (Alvred) holds 3 virgates of land in FoRDiNESTONE [Farthingstone]. There is land for I plough, which is there in demesne, and (there are) 2 serfs. It was worth 10 shillings ; now (it is worth) 15 shillings. Ingelran holds (it) of him (Alvred). Leuric held (it) in king Edward's time. The soc of this land belongs to {jacet ad) Felewesleie [Fawsley]. FuLCHER holds of the Count i hide and the third part of I hide in Alidetorp [Thorpe Malsor].* There is land for 3 ploughs. In demesne there is I (plough), and 2 serfs ; and 10 villeins, and 8 bordars have 2 ploughs. It was and is worth 30 shillings. Edwin held (it) freely. The same (Fulcher) holds 3 virgates of land in PiCTESLEi [Pytchley]. There is land for i^ ploughs. Two ploughs are there with I sochman and 2 bordars, and i acre of meadow. It was worth 5 shillings ; now (it is worth) 10 shillings. Edwin held this also fceely. The same (Fulcher) holds 3 virgates of land in Ordinbaro [Orlingbur)-].

It was worth 5 shillings ; now (it is worth) 10 shillings. Robert holds of the Count half a hide in
- Or Preston Parva.
- Mr. Stuart Moore makes this to be
Althorpe (which was ' Olletorp '), but I am certain it is Thorpe Malsor. Bridges says of this latter place that ' there appeareth to be no mention ' of it ' in Domesday Book,' but it will be found that ' Fulcherius Malesoueres ' held in the ' Northamptonshire Survey ' at Thorpe Malsor and at Orlingbury. His holding at the former (given wrongly by Bridges) was i J hides, the exact amount given under 'Alidethorp' above (see p. 385 below). Moreover, under Edward I., Thorpe Malsor was held of the fee of Mortain. 327
