therein in accord with our Fine, as in STROOD, without any mention of FRINDSBURY.
   In " Testa de Nevill," too, a record of Knights'-fees made about ninety years after the date of our Fine, these two half-knights'-fees are similarly entered, without any allusion to FRINDSBURY. For among the Fees of the Earl of Leicester in that record, we find "half a fee in STRODES held, of Simon de Chelesfeld, and he of Geoffrey Scoland, and he of the Earl Leycester;" and "Alan de Godinton half a fee in STRODES of Geoffrey de Scoland, and he of the Earl of Leycester"
   3.—Our Fine speaks of REGINALD FLEMENG as holding of Simon de Chelesfeld" one knight's-fee in FRENIBERGE." In "Testa de Nevill," among the fees of the Earl of Leicester, JOHN DE FLEMINGS is entered as holding of SIMON DE CHELSFELD one fee in "FABNBERGE." In the Book of Knights'-fees (see "Addenda") the heirs of JOHN FLEMYNG hold of SIMON DE CHELLESFELD one fee in FRENBERGE and CHELLESFELD, and this is entered under the manor of " FABNBOROUGH."
   4.—In the same Book of Fees, we find a manor of GODYNGTON entered under the hundred of Ruxley, in connection with the manor of CHELSFELD, (FARNBOROUGH and CHELSFIELD being neighbouring parishes in that hundred,)—and this entry is totally distinct from that of the manor of Godinton, in Strodes, under the hundred of Shamel.
   5.—The form of the name FERNIBERGE almost necessarily points to FARNBOROUGH ; even FRENIBERGE could hardly have been the form in which FRINDSBUEY would have been written. In Domesday it is FRANDESBERIE, and in ancient charters FREONDESBYEY.
   In instances like these, we do not pretend to more than the best conjecture we can offer, until subsequent Fines, or other sources of information, supply the evidence which we need to complete identification.
