Note 31 — SAXON CHURCHES IN LINCOLNSHIRE

The Church of St. Peter “ad Fontem,” which Picot, son of Coleswegen, gave to St. Mary’s Abbey at York (see notice of grant ap. Dugdale, Mon. Angl., ed. Caley, &c., 1846, vol. iii. p. 549), was in the eastern suburb of the city. Here, then, we must place that “wasta terra” which King William gave to Coleswegen, and the two churches which Coleswegen endowed there (Domesday Book, Lincolnshire fac-simile, f. 2b).
