This holding lay probably at Burgham in Etching- ham. - King Edward held Berwick (see note 7, p. 403), and Osward held Claverh.Tm (see p. 417). 3 Possibly attached to Lovringetone, which Cola held (see note 2, p. 411).

T If Seuredeswelle may be identified with Sores Wood (see note I, p. 394), this portion of Alciston no doubt lay there. 8 As a fine of 42 Henry III. shows that the abbey of Treport held land in Burhers [Burwash], this was no doubt in that parish. " Occurs as Babirote on the Pipe Roll of 3 1 Hen. I. '0 Possibly Kitchenham in Peasmarsh, which is however now in Goldspur Hundred. S.D.B.'s suggestion of Icklesham has nothing to support it, so far as I know.
