- ↑ The 5 manors in Sefton embraced the township of Sefton with the hamlets of Lunt and Netherton.
- ↑ There was also one of the 6 berewicks of the manor of West Derby, also embracing Aintree, the modern township of Fazakerley, and the hamlet of Newsham. The church of Walton had also some glebe land here, perhaps 5 bovates. The whole land of Walton was probably one hide.
- ↑ Interlined.
- ↑ Now involved in Toxteth Park.
- ↑ As in the case of Bootle, the half carucate would be in addition to, not included in, the half hide.
- ↑ This name is entirely lost. It does not occur elsewhere. The 12-13th century rating of Much Woolton (3 carucates) shows that the place is involved in that township.
- ↑ Perhaps a clerical error for 32 pence.
- ↑ Later records prove that Bootle and Linacre, representing these four manors, consisted of 3 carucates of land. The church land was, therefore, not included in the 2 carucates.
- ↑ Now involved in Aughton.
- ↑ A township partly lost in the sea and partly involved in Birkdale.
- ↑ This note applies to this and the remaining manors of the hundred. See the Introduction.
- ↑ Comprising the joint townships of Scarisbrick and Hurleton, the latter now involved in Scarisbrick.
- ↑ Now involved in the township of Burscough.
