THE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SURVEY of the fee of Chok[es].' There also Ralf Meschin 5 small virgates of the fee of Gey- tington [Geddington].* There also John le Bauld I great virgate. There also Foliot 2 hides (and) a half and i small virgate of the fee of Huntingdon.^ In PvTESLE [Pytchley] the abbot of (Peter)borough 5 hides (and) a half, but (there are) nevertheless in the rolls of Win- chester 6 hides and 3 small virgates.* There also Richard Engayne 3 hides (and) I virgate.* There also William Fitz Gery half a hide of the fee of Mortoin.® In Harudon [Harrowden] Reygold i hide of the fee of William de Curcy. There also Geoffrey 2 hides and [sic) one bovate less of the fee of Huntingdon. There also Nicholas de Cugeho i hide of the King's fee.' In Ham'ton * [Hannington] (is) half a hide of the fee of the earl of Leicester.^ There as i^ hides by Gunfrei de Cioches > Held in 1086.
- 2 hides and I virgate there constituted a
member of Geddington in 1086. The above tenant would be Ranulf Meschin, temp. Henry I. ^ Only I hide is assigned by Domesday to Countess Judith at Cransley. The Domes- day total for Cransley is 4I hides, and that of this Survey 4 hides, I great virgate, 6 small virgates, and a bovate and a half. The hold- ings seem to have been redistributed.
- Domesday (here termed ' the rolls of
Winchester ') assigns to the abbot at Pytchley, in all, 6 hides and 3 virgates (not, as the Sur- vey states, ' small ' virgates).
- Domesday assigns to William (Engaine)
only 2 hides there.
- Held as 3 virgates by the count of Mortain
in 1086. It will be observed that these two holdings in Pytchley exceed the Domesday assessment, while the Peterborough one is less. The deficit of 1^ hides on the Peterborough holding is exactly equal to the increase on that of Richard Engayne. Domesday assigns 2| hides in Harrowden Magna and 2 J hides in Harrowden Parva to the bishop of Coutances and I hide in Har- rowden Magna to Guy de Reinbuedcurt. This is a larger total than the above, and the holdings had been redistributed.

'* Held by William Peverel (of Notting- ham) in 1086 as I hide and a half and a third of a virgate. " See note to this manor ('Esbece'] in Domesday text (p. 323). The count of Mortain held all 3 hides in 1086. " Entered in Domesday as 3^ hides and ^ virgate. In the above entry the name of the Domesday tenant-in-chief seems to be retained, and the words 'of the fee of Peverel ' added. " This is clearly the bishop of Coutances' Domesday holding there, which is entered as half a hide and ^ virgate. 383
