 TEMPORARY INTRODUCTION, 
 
 JL HERE is not an EngTifli Antiquary, or Hiftorian, that has not defcantecf 
 on the value of thefe Records, that has not given pretended Extra (fls from 
 thefe Autographs, and enlarged on the Accuracy of the Report, which ij 
 enrcgiftered in thefe volumes. It is iinivcrfally allowed, that no Nation in 
 Europe pofTeffes Documents of equal Authenticity, Antiquity, and Ac- 
 curacy ; but, flrange as it may appear, we alTert, without fear of contra- 
 didlion, that there never exifted Books or Manufcripts fo little undcrftood, 
 that there never was found a Record fo inaccurately illuftrated, or a Syfteni 
 to- regulate Judicial Decifions, on which the Common Law of a "rcat and 
 polifhed Kingdom depends, that has been fo little invefligated. 
 
 The Government of this Realm has indeed attempted to give fatisfadorv 
 Information to the Statefman, the Lawyer, the Antiquary, and Hiftorian, 
 relative to thefe Official Reports of the Norman Commiffioners in the rei<ni 
 of William. A faithful Copy of the original Record has been printed, at a 
 great expcnce. But before men can read, they muft acquire a Knowlcge of 
 Letters ; before men can afcertain the Contradions and Abbreviations of the 
 eleventh Century, they mufl be acquainted with the Language, Cuftoms, 
 and Dialed of the middle Ages. This Work has been accurately edited, as

 a Fac-fimile, under the fupcrintcndance of the late Dr. Moreto.v, but with 
 " all its Imperfedlions on its Head j" theTranfcribcr, Mr, Abraham Farley, 
 was an excellent Copyift, but could not interpret the Words that he prepared 
 for the Prefs ; fo that this invaluable Survey of South-Britain has been 
 truly dccyphered, but, to the generality of Englifhmen, or even Latin 
 Scholars, it is ftill ufclcfs and unintelligible, from the peculiarities of its 
 
 Style, and the number of its Contracflions. 
 
 It was the Tranflators original intention to have given the Subflance of the 
 Book of Domesday in Maps of each County, Topographical Tables, 
 arranged according to Hundreds, Rapes, or Manours, and an appropriate 
 History of every City, Borough, or Town, as ftated in this Autograph, 
 with collateral, hifloric, and legal Information, derived from other authentic 
 Sources, to the reign of Edward 111:. But in conformity with the requefl of 
 fome refpedlablc and learned Friends, this Specimen is publiflied, as a pre- 
 paratory and perhaps neceffary Introdudion to an intended general Tranflation. 
 To give a literal verbatim Rendering, was never defigned, (for then no one 
 would have read it j) but to give a faithful, accurate, though occafionally liberal 
 Tranflation, where Cuftoms and Manners are delineated. To Noblemen, 
 Gentlemen of landed Property, Clergymen, Lawyers, and Jurymen, 
 tliis Record will aflbrd much pleafing and fatisfadlory Information ; and the 
 curious Cuftoms enregiftered in thefe volumes, will much elucidate the Com- 
 mon Law of the Land, the Manners of our Forefathers, the State of 
 the Boroughs, Towns, and Villages, the Agriculture, Population, 
 and Commerce of the Kingdom. 
 
 In the reign of our Englifli Jultinian, Edward Ifl. a Survey of the King- 
 dom, on a much more extenlivc Scale, was inflituted and completed. He 
 had furnifhed the Commiflloners delegated for this Inveftigation, with nume- 
 rous legal and civil Queftions, which were all regularly entered in the Roll, 
 
 8 and
 
 [ V ] 
 
 and to each of which a feparate and diflini^l Anfwer was returned, from each 
 Hundred and Counfj-^-Court. Fortunately for Britifli Hillory, and the In- 
 vefligator of our antient Laws and Cuftoms, (if our Legiilature, or the Society 
 of Antiquaries, inftantly embrace the opportunity of having thcfe almoft; 
 periflicd Rolls decyphered), the Surveys of four Counties, Lincoln, Oxford, 
 Huntingdon, and Cambridge, have been difcovered in the Records of the 
 Tower of London. But many parts of thefe are at prefent almoft illegible; 
 the Parchment and Writing are both brown, only of different (hades, and being 
 in Rolls, not bound in Volumes, as Domefday, thefe Surveys expofed conti- 
 nually to the air will foon perifli, and their lofs may hereafter be juftly regretted 
 by Britons even more than the volumes of Livy, The importance of thefe 
 Rolls is much increafed by their conftant reference to preceding Placita, entered 
 under the head of Calumniatores in Domefday, and as regularly confolidating 
 the Links of the Saxon, Norman, and Roman Law into one Body, from the 
 reign of Edward the ConfelTour, in 1066, (in fome inftances from the reign 
 of Cnut,) through the fucccflive Norman Princes, till the adoption of the 
 Roman Code, by this wife, learned, and magnanimous Prince, at the con- 
 clufion of the thirteenth Century. For an opulent and enlightened nation, 
 whofe Statefmen and Lawyers are Princes, to neglcft an opportunity of re- 
 covering fuch a Survey oi four Counties, at this a;ra, (perhaps more might 
 be difcovered,) will juftly attach an eternal ftigma to their name in the fight 
 of poftcrity. 
 
 To the County of Kent a Map is annexed, and the publilhcd Specimens 
 and Parts of South-Britain give the modern corrcfponding Terms. For 
 the County of Surrey a Summary Table of the antient and modern Names of 
 Hundreds, &c. is given, as a Criterion by which the Editors may eftimate 
 the public Difpohtion to patronize hiformation on Subjeds of this national 
 Importance. If this Tranflation is ever completed, and the Writers would 
 engage (if encouraged) to give a fimilar Volume each four Months, a general 
 
 copious
 
 [ vi ] 
 
 copious lutrodudion will be given with the lafl Number. This Work will 
 lay a folid Foundation for an authentic HISTORY of SOUTH-BRITAIN, 
 will corre<ft a thoufand Errors of former Writers, and enable Pofterity con- 
 nedledly to trace the Conftitution, Laws, Cuftoms, and Manners of their 
 Country, from the Ages of Barbarity and Slavery to the refined Inflitutes of 
 the mofl enlightened, wife, opulent, and happy Nation in the Univerfe.

 DOVER *, in the time of King Edward, rendered eighteen pounds, of 
 which fum, Edward had two portions, and Earl Godwin a third. Bc- 
 fidcs this, the Canons of St. Martin had another moiety. The BurgciTes 
 provided twenty fliips for the Monarch once each year for fifteen days, and in 
 each fhip were twenty-one men. They rendered this fervice becaufe tlie King 
 had hberated them from " Sac and Soc. When the Meffengers of the Monarch 
 came to this port, they paid tliree-pence in winter, and two-pence in fummcr, 
 for the tranfportation of a horfc ; but the Burgeffcs found a pilot, and another 
 ailiftiuit; and if more were required, they were furniflied at the Royal expencc. 
 From the Feftival of St, Michael to St. Andrew, the Royal Peace was 
 cflablifhcd in the village. Whoever violated this, the Supcrintcndant of the 
 Monarch received the common forfeiture.

 Every refident inhabitant, that rendered the Royal '" cufloms, was quit of 
 Toll throughout the Realm of England, All thcfe culloms txiftcd, when 
 King William came to this country. At his lirft arrival, this village was 
 deftroyed by fire ; and therefore its value could not be eflimated, or its worth 
 afcertained, when the Bifliop of Baieux received it. At the prefcnt period it 
 is valued at forty pounds, yet the Mayor pays fifty-four pounds. To the 
 Monarch twenty-four pounds, of twenty pence, in the Ore ; to the Earl 
 thirty pounds in tale. In Dover there arc twenty-nine manfions, of which 
 the King has loft the cuftomary payments. Of thcfe Robert Romney has 
 two, Ralph Crookthorn three, William Fitz-tydald one, William Fitz-oger 
 one, William Fitz-tedold and Robert Black fix, William Fitz-geoffrey three, 
 in which was a Guild-hall of Burgefles. Hugh Montfort has one houfe, 
 Durand one, Ralph Colville one, Wadard fix, Fitz-modbcrt one, and all thefe 
 appeal to the Bi(hop of Baieux as tlieir Protedior, Deliverer, and Giver. 
 
 Of the manlion which Ralph Colville occupies, that was the property of an 
 exile, it is ' agreed, that one half of it appertains to the Monarch. Roger 
 of Weftciham eredtcd a certain houfe upon the King's water, and has ht-ld 
 to theprefent period the regal cuftoms. This houfe exiftcd not in the reign of 
 Edward. There is a mill at the entrance of the harbour of Dover, which 
 wrecks almoft every fliip by the violence of the tides current j and occafions 
 great damage to the Sovereign and his fubjccis. It exifled not in the days of 
 the Confeffour. On this fubjccfl the nephew of Herbert declares, that the 
 Bifhop of Baieux granted permifTion to his uncle Herbert Fitz-iyo for the 
 ere(5tion of it.

 rowed ; or cut down a flanding tree to crofs the way ; or bear away a bough 
 or a branch ; for each mifdemcanour he fhall forfeit to the King one hundred 
 ■hill.ngs : and if he fliall proceed home without fcizure or bail, yet the Officer 
 of the Monarch fliall purfue him, and he fliall compenfate with one hundred 
 fliillings. If any one violates our cHabliflicd ^ Laws ; and was attached on the 
 high-way ; or had given bail for his appearance ; he fliall make amends to the 
 King with eight pounds. But if he is not under the cognizance of the King, 
 he is fl:ill rcfponfible to his ^ I^rd for other forfeitures, as of Grith-break,

 Chilham. It is ' fettled relative to the high roads that pafs through the City, 
 that whoever commits violence therein fhall fatisfy the King. In like manner 
 of the high roads without the city, for one league, three perches and three 
 feet. If any one therefore in thefe public ways, within the City, or without, 
 fliall dig a trench, or ered: a paling, the Officer of the King fhall follow 
 him, whithcrlbever he fleeth, and fliall receive fatisfaCtion for the King's

 Friend, relative to the meaning of this word. He confiders it as defignating an order of men 
 inferior to the Bordarii (becaufe they are frequently mentioned after them,) and the bafefl of 
 villains or bondfmen. The foimdation of my difference of opinion refls on this bafe. In the 
 Saxon Language Theilardc, Thief of the Lord, or Svrvants of the Lord, was the general term 
 for the Clergy. We allow tliat they are meniioned almoft conflantly after Viilani and Bordarii 
 in order, for the Ploughs and ihe Hufbandmen, or Houfe- bound-men, occupied the firft care cf 
 the Reporters and Commiflioners. But they are ranked among articles of high value and con- 
 fequcnce, a Mill, a Fifhcry, Salt-pans, and frequently connc£led with a Church, after which 
 they are commonly enumerated, fo that doubtlcfs when treating of the territories of the Digni- 
 taries of the Church, we think ourfelves fully jullificd by rendering them Minillcrs ; when 
 treating of feudal Chieftains, they might be his Followers, that accompanied him in war.— 
 Indeed S>;rvi or Servientes ad Legem is an honourable title, the aniient term Seri'ant of a Lover

 The territory of the KING. 
 
 In WocHiNCEs Hiindi-ed — King William has fcventy-fivc lioufes in 
 Gillcfoid°, in \\\\\c\\ one hundred and ieventy-five men refidc. In the time 
 of King Edward they produced eighteen pounds and three-pence. It is now 
 cflimated at thirty pounds, yet it yields thirty-two pounds. Ralph, Clerk, 
 has three of the aforcfaid houfcs, where fix men relide, and the faid Ralph 
 has Sac and Soc (or Suit and Service) of them, iinlefs the common general 
 Land-tax is levied in this diftridl, from which no man is exempt. If one of 
 his Homagers commits any trefpafs in the village, and efcapes into his 
 Borough. P, the Bailiff of the King receives no forfeiture. But if he was 
 challenged in the diflrid:, and found bail for his appearance, then recompencc 
 is made to the King. Stigand, Archbilhop, held thefe houfes by fuch tenure. 
 
 Ralph, Vifcount, has one houfe, which to this day he has held of the 
 Bilhop of Baieux. The Jurors teftify, that it is not attached to any Manour, 
 but that the tenant, in the reign of the Confellour, gave it to Tovi, the Bailiff 
 of the village, as a recompence for a forfeiture. 
 
 There is another houfe which the Bailiff of the Bifliop of Baieux holds as 
 of the Manour of Bronlci. Relative to this the Jurors of the County affirm, 
 that he has no other right to it, except that the Bailiff of the village received 
 under his protecftion a certain widow, whofe houfe it was, and therefore the 
 Bilhop attached it to his Manour of Bronlci, and the King even to this day 
 has loft the cuftomary fervices, but the Bilhop has received them. 
 
 The Jurors affirm alfo concerning another houfe, included in Eronlei on 
 this account alone, that the Bailiff of that village was a friend of the man's 
 who poffcffed the houfe, and after his death annexed it to the Manour of 
 Broiilei. 
 
 Walerann alfo laid claim to a houfe, df which King Edwai'd had the cuf- 
 tomary Services, againft a certain Homager. For the prefent Othbert holds 
 it with Suit and Service, as he reports, by the authority of King William.
