In the case of this last Hundred our survey records a conflict of testimony, and, in so doing, mentions incidentally (as would Domesday) the witness of the Hundredcourt. Henry de Ferrers, in the Domesday Survey, is credited with 21 car. in "Tunge cum omnibus appendiciis," and with 4 in "Werditone" (i. 233). But here Tong, "cum appendiciis," is reckoned at 12 car. only. There remained, therefore, to be accounted for a large balance of car., and these the men of the Hundred assigned to his Manor of Worthington. It is desirable to analyse some of the fiefs in our survey, and, by comparison with Domesday, to trace their descent or origin. B. H. P |
