There is land to twenty-four ploughs. Besides this there is in the demesne, land to eight ploughs, which was never taxed. There are four ploughs in the demesne, and four bondmen and twenty-two villanes and twenty-two bordars, and twenty-two cottagers with eight ploughs. There are twenty acres of meadow. Pasture two miles long, and half a mile broad; and the same of wood. Of the land of this manor the wife of Hugh holds of the Abbot seven hides and one virgate of land and a half; and Warmund two hides. There are three ploughs in the demesne, and four bondmen; and three villanes and seven bordars with one plough; and three acres of meaadow; and wood two quarantens long, and one quaranten broad.
