Geoffrey holds of Gilo half a hide in ' ' Now lost,' says Mr. Stuart Moore. But I am certain it is represented by the ' 2 hides and 4 small virgates' in Culworth, which are returned as held by William in the ' Northamptonshire Survey.' Bridges thought that this holding was 'not men- tioned in Domesday Book,' as he did not recognize it under ' Brime.' William's heirs, the Culworths, held it of the Pinkeneys by the service of one knight, and also held of them in Sulgrave, which adjoined Culworth on the south-east, as did ' Landric,' their Domesday predecessor. 344
