Note 246 — PART I TERRITORIAL STUDIES (continued 2)

The former of these two phrases is repeated in the Inquisitio Eliensis,246 a fact of some importance if, as I venture to think, it is there meaningless. The point is worth labouring. We see that the phrase cannot have occurred in the original returns, where all the entries relating to Marham would have come together. But if it was only applicable to Domesday Book itself—where the fiefs were separated—then must the I.E. have copied from Domesday Book.
