NOTE TO DOMESDAY MAP In the accompanying map the manors held wholly or in part by the king, the bishop of Thetford, William de Warenne, and Roger Bigod are distinguished from those of other tenants in chief except in the cases where the holding is less than a plough-land. The hundreds are indicated by letters corresponding with the key printed with the map ; and the chief manors or vills in each hundred, those to which soke was appurtenant, are printed in capitals. In many cases the names of vills appear in Domesday in several different forms, but only one variant can be given on the map. The positions assigned to the vills are based, when possible, upon the situations of the churches. In other cases they correspond with the sites of manor- or farm-houses which retain the names of the Domesday vills.
