- Domesday gives only the half hide of
Ramsey Abbey there.
- This estate was he' i as 3 hides by
Reginald son of Berenger le Moyne, in 1 166, of the Abbot, as one knight's fee. ' Domesday states that '3 knights' held 2^ hides of Peterborough Abbey. The above three holdings represent, in all, an excess of half a virgate over 2^ hides.
- Domesday only allows 5 hides to Arm-
ston and Kingsthorpe together, a total exceeded in this Survey by Armston alone. The above holdings, therefore, are difficult to identify.
- Entered in Domesday as half a hide held
by the Abbey in demesne. ® 4^ hides in Ashton (in Oundle) were held, in 1086, by the abbot of Peterborough in demesne, but Ivo also held of him half a hide there. Thus there had been a further subinfeudation of half a hide since 1086. The Liber Niger [circ. 1125) shows us Ralf ' Papilio ' and Leofnoth {^Levenothui) holding half a hide apiece in Ashton. ' So also in Domesday.
- Abbot Turold is recorded to have given
Vivian (of Churchfield) ^ hide in Oundle [Chronicon Petroburgense, p. 175).
- Stibbington in the north-west corner of
Hunts. These two hides were held by his predecessor, Richard (Engaine), as at ' Stabin- tone.' '" Held by his predecessor William Fitz Ansculf in 1086.
- Held by the Abbot as i| hides in 1086.
- Doubtless appendant to his Easton estate
adjoining. " Simon de Lindon. This holding had escheated to the Crown on the death of ' Eudo Dapifer,' who had held it, as i^ hides, in 1086.
- Entered as 3 hides in Domesday.
- Domesday assigns there to Hugh de
Grentmaisnil, the earl of Leicester's prede- cessor, one holding corresponding in size with each of the two above, namely, ' a hide and a half and the tenth of a hide.'
- ^ This would seem to represent the 3^
virgates held there, in 1086, by two of the King's almsmen, for 8 'small' virgates would amount to the same. " It should be observed that, as at Charlton below, exactly 4 hides are accounted for in this second half of Sutton. 367
