Background
Description
Barton-Le-Clay Domesday Book entry, taken from 210d 2. <blockquote> In FLITT Hundred M. The Abbot also holds Barton (in-the-clay). It answers for 11 hides. Land for 12 ploughs. In lordship 3 hides; 2 ploughs there; a third possible. 20 villagers have 9 ploughs. 7 smallholders and 6 slaves. 1 mill, 2s, meadow for 6 ploughs; woodland, 200 pigs. In total, value £10; the same when acquired; before 1066 £12. This manor always lay in (the lands of) St Benedict's Church. With this manor the Abbot claims against Nigel of Aubigny and Walter the Fleming 12 acre of meadow which lay there before 1066, but John of Les Roches dispossessed him wrongfully, and this the Hundred testifies. </blockquote>
