A HISTORY OF SUFFOLK To this manor Phin added in King William's time 8 freeman with 35 acres and a sokeman with 12 acres, who could not take himself*" out of the lordship of Saint Etheldreda, and among them they had then 3 ploughs, now 2. Then it was worth 15J., now 20s. Osbern de Wancey holds the whole ; and Richard claims it as belonging to Phin's fee. The King and the Earl (have) the soke. Two of these freemen Roger de Ramis claims as of his fee, and he was seised thereof. The whole is 6 furlongs in length, and 2 broad. And (pays) 6d. in geld. Of all this Phin had nothing T.R.E.

Among them all they had always 3 ploughs, and i acre of meadow. The above 12 were then worth 6s. and 8d., and the others 41. and id. The King and the Earl have soke over the whole of them.
