\par }{\insrsid9388686\charrsid10510304 
\par }{\b\insrsid9388686\charrsid10510304 GEOGRAPHY
\par }{\insrsid9388686 Huntingdonshire was not defined by its geography, geology, nor, apparen
tly, by any Romano-British or Anglian history. It is a late and artificial unit of customary dues, taxation and administration, based around the borough of Huntingdon, which lies just south of its centre.
\par \tab This is essentially territory crossed by the middl
e Ouse river, which drains through Bedfordshire from the upland region south of Yardley Chase (Northamptonshire) and which grows sluggish as it reaches the levels of the fens. The upland scarcely rises above 200 feet, so there was little difference betwee
n the cultivation of hill and valley, though the shire was much wooded in 1086, most manors having an entry for }{\cs18\i\cf1\insrsid9388686\charrsid10510304 silva}{\cs18\i\insrsid9388686\charrsid10510304  pastilis}{\insrsid9388686 
 ('pasturable woodland'), and very many place-names are connected with woodland.
\par \tab The River Ouse was navigable from the sea to Huntingdon, though its course was occasionally obstructed by fish-traps and weirs. Fisheries are mentioned in Great Domesday as lying at Eynesbury, Southoe, Huntingdon and }{
\insrsid9388686\charrsid5970019 Hemingford}{\insrsid15491095\charrsid5970019  Abbots and Hemingford Grey}{\insrsid9388686\charrsid5970019  (all on the Ouse) and at Alwalton on the}{\insrsid9388686  River Nene. The }{
\cs22\i\insrsid9388686\charrsid10510304 Rotuli Hundredorum}{\insrsid9388686  of 1279 refers to many more, and it is likely that the Domesday listing of this resource (as }{\insrsid5970019 of several others) is sporadic.}{\insrsid9388686 
\par \tab The fens dominated the north-eastern quarter of the shire. Settlements on dry land formed a great arc, and ran down to the fens and meres, which had been divided among them early in the eleventh century possibly by Thorkil the tall, }{
\insrsid9388686\charrsid10510304 Earl of}{\insrsid9388686  East Anglia 1017-1021, or by Thorkil of Harringworth (also known as Thorkil the Dane: 2,8 }{\insrsid9388686\charrsid3092389 Thorkil note)}{\insrsid9388686 , probably under King Cnut: }{

\insrsid15799370 )}{\insrsid9388686 . These settlements stretched from Stanground in the north through Fletton, Farcet, Yaxley, Stilton, Denton, Holme, Glatton, Conington, Sawtry, Woodwa
lton, Upwood, Bury, Wistow, Warboys and Pidley to Somersham in the east of the county. Some of these places were unnamed parts of Domesday settlements; see \{Introduction: Manorial }{\insrsid15799370 Organization}{\insrsid9388686 \}
. In the fens lay islands, principally Ramsey, with its depende
ncy Higney, but also Northey ('north island', in Bury), Rowey ('rough island', in Pidley cum Fenton), Bodsey ('Boda's island', in Ramsey) and Horsey Hill ('horse island', in Stanground) and possibly Woolvey (6,11 }{\insrsid9388686\charrsid15799370 
Warboys note). Ramsey itself was reached by a laboriously-constructed causeway. Within the fens were a number of separately named meres: Whittlesey, the most important (7,8 Whittlesey note), but also Benwick Mere, Ugg Mere and Ramsey Mere.}{

\par }{\insrsid16061019 \tab }{\insrsid8925535 Extending from a centre in }{\insrsid15553091 Cambridgeshire}{\insrsid6239945  into }{\insrsid15553091 Huntingdonshire}{\insrsid8925535 , Suffolk, Norfolk, }{\insrsid15553091 Northamptonshire}{\insrsid8925535 
, and }{\insrsid15553091 Lincolnshire}{\insrsid8925535 , the fens stretched widely, and were fed by the rivers Nene (entering at Peterborough), the G}{\insrsid15553091 reat Ouse (entering at St}{\insrsid8925535 
 Ives), the Granta (at Cambridge), the Lark (at Mildenhall), the Lit}{\insrsid2687923 tle Ouse (at Brandon), and the R}{\insrsid8925535 iver Wissey (at Stoke Ferry). All this water made its way to the }{\insrsid2382897 sea past Wisbech, but silting}{
\insrsid8925535  slowed the flow and the Great Ouse and part of the }{\insrsid15799370 River }{\insrsid8925535 Nene found a new outlet at Kings Lynn. The coastline of the Wash was undoubtedly further inland in the eleventh century}{\insrsid2382897 
. Some settlement was possible }{\insrsid8925535 on a bed of silt that partially blocked the fens}{\insrsid15553091  on their eastern edge}{\insrsid15285434 , but }{\insrsid8925535 settlement could only take place on islands}{\insrsid15285434  in the fens
}{\insrsid8925535 . Transport was mainly by boat, but causeways connected Ely to Soham via Stuntney, Ely to Earith and from Aldreth to the mainland}{\insrsid6239945 .}{\insrsid16061019 
\par \tab }{\insrsid8925535 The fens were a mixture of lakes, reed-beds, water-meadows, islands and dry}{\insrsid15553091  }{\insrsid8925535 land which was flooded in winter. The fenland economy is little noticed in }{\insrsid4025947 Great Domesday}{
\insrsid16061019  }{\insrsid8925535 because of its narrow tenurial}{\insrsid6239945  and fiscal focus, but it included}{\insrsid8925535 
 timber, hay, reeds (for thatch and flooring), fowling, fishing, peat-extraction, salt-panning, pasture and arable. Apart from the fishing-}{\insrsid15553091 rights on Whittlesey m}{\insrsid8925535 er}{\insrsid6239945 e, the only fishery mentioned in}{
\insrsid4025947  Domesday }{\insrsid2687923 Huntingdonshire }{\insrsid8925535 that is likely to have lain in the fens is at Somersham. There is little meadow attached to the fenland manors in }{\insrsid15553091 Great Domesday}{\insrsid8925535 
, but its area was considerably expanded between the eleventh an}{\insrsid6239945 d fourteent}{\insrsid8925535 h centuries, by piecemeal reclamation, often the initiative of individual tenants.}{\insrsid16061019 
\par \tab }{\insrsid8925535 In the fens, trench-digging was a customary service, but while ditches could assist drainage and were useful for transport, they could also be obstructive, and although there were many attempts to impr
ove drainage, there were strong economic reasons for leaving the fens alone. Their medieval extent is still evident on John Speed}{\insrsid89981 '}{\insrsid8925535 
s maps of 1610, and it was only later in the seventeenth century that drainage and reclamation began on a large scale. The last mere to be dr}{\insrsid6239945 ained was Whittlesey in 1851-}{\insrsid15553091 185}{\insrsid8925535 2.}{\insrsid16061019 

\par \tab }{\insrsid8925535 There were several attempts in the Middle Ages to define the boundaries of estates in the fens, and the exact lie of the county b}{\insrsid2382897 oundaries here was only settled}{\insrsid8925535 
 in comparatively recent times, sometimes taking advantage of the line provided by}{\insrsid2382897  post-medieval}{\insrsid8925535  dykes. The only natural bounda}{\insrsid2382897 ry possessed by }{\insrsid15553091 Huntingdonshire}{\insrsid8925535 
 is in its north where, from Wansford to Stanground the }{\insrsid2687923 R}{\insrsid15553091 iver }{\insrsid8925535 Nene separates it from }{\insrsid4025947 Northamptonshire}{\insrsid15553091 .}{\insrsid4025947  }{\insrsid8925535 
In the west, south and south-east, the boundary was defined by estates in a complex and sometimes changing way.}{\insrsid16061019 
\par \tab }{\insrsid8925535 The fens were also a perfect place for }{\insrsid6239945 the }{\insrsid8925535 establishment of monasteries that wished to withdraw from contact with the world. Crowland, Ely, Thorney, Peterborough, Chatteris and Ramsey
 were established here in the}{\insrsid6239945  revival that took place under K}{\insrsid8925535 ing Edgar (957-975)}{\insrsid4344812 ;}{\insrsid8925535  most of these were re}{\insrsid15799370 -}{\insrsid8925535

d when the course of these same }{\insrsid5834280 rivers changed or was altered. }{\insrsid8925535 Thus, in the low-lying, formerly marshy area of }{\insrsid13850276 Huntingdonshire}{\insrsid15291766 , some parish boundaries}{\insrsid8925535  follow dr}{

\par \tab }{\insrsid5834280 Elsewhere in the shire it seems}{\insrsid8925535  th
at there was a tension between the desire to allocate a set number of hides to the county without re-hidation and the need not to upset existing tenurial arrangements. The result was that some vills were divided between counties or the county boundary fol
lowed a }{\insrsid15291766 winding course between estates.}{\insrsid8925535  In the }{\cs18\i\insrsid8925535\charrsid10510304 locus classicus}{\insrsid8925535 , }{\insrsid13850276 Worcestershire}{\insrsid15291766 , the lands of the a}{\insrsid8925535

century, but since then boundary changes have in most cases put the whole of the parish in one county. The }{\insrsid13850276 Northamptonshire portion }{\insrsid8925535 of many of these places belonged to the }{\insrsid10510304 A}{\insrsid8925535

Huntingdonshire appears to be allocated 850 hides in the County

een original round figures for county and hundreds are reflected by subdivision at the level of individual estates. There are many estates of five or ten hides, some of fifteen hides. Sometimes estates }{\insrsid15925468 combine to form}{\insrsid8925535 
 units}{\insrsid14159369  of five or ten}{\insrsid15925468  hides}{\insrsid8925535 , even when

 the hidation appears to have been applied as part of or after shiring. Thus the three estates at Hargrave plus Covington}{\insrsid14159369  mad}{\insrsid10243267 e a 10-}{\insrsid8925535 hide unit, ignoring the portion of Hargrave that lay in }{

Possibly Earl Harold had temporarily annexed the hundred to his manor of Kimbolton and moved the moot-site there. There are many examples of hundreds which after 1086 changed their names while retaining their extents}{\insrsid7821408

The material for }{\insrsid16191938 Huntingdonshire}{\insrsid7353988  occupies only 21 columns (the fewest}{\insrsid6971555  number after Middlesex) and is}{\insrsid547059  contained within a single quire}{\insrsid8732969  with no half-sheets}{
\insrsid6971555 ; each of the six folios}{\insrsid547059  }{\insrsid6173377 were ruled with 44 lines, which the main scribe of Great Domesday did not exceed }{\insrsid6971555 
during the initial writing up of the county. In common with the rest of circuit VI}{\insrsid8146709 ,}{\insrsid6971555  Huntingdonshire was laid out with blank lines left between fiefs, ranging from one to five lines}{\insrsid8732969

Also in common with the rest of circuit VI, the hundred heads in Huntingdonshire were often written on a separate line above the entry to which they related}{\insrsid1251967  (adding to the feeling of space within the county}{\insrsid89981 '}{

ne of the entry or in a space left at the end of the previous entry, a policy adopted by the main scribe of Great Domesday for counties written up later, presumably in an attempt to save parchment. The chapter heads were written during rubrication on the 
same line as the hundred head (where present), though there was not always sufficient room for them and the scribe had to interline parts, as in chapters 6, 14, 21, 24, 28.}{\insrsid1251967  }{\insrsid547059

\par }{\insrsid3220948 'Declarations' is a convenient term for the untitled list of statements made by men on oath, apparently in the county court, which was included to illuminate debatable issues of jurisdiction and tenure.
\par \tab This section was written on a new folio at the end of the quire containing the rest of Huntingdonshi
re; it might have been written slightly later than the main text preceding it. Like other pieces of continuous prose, such as the borough sections, it looks superficially different from the preceding text, but this may be due to the lack not only of figur
e
s but also of corrections and additions, the latter probably the result of copying from a good exemplar which did not need much editing.  Because this section was written on poor parchment, a comparison of the pen and ink with those of the preceding text 
i
s unrewarding, making it uncertain whether it was added, though the character of the writing is very like that of the main Huntingdonshire text.  However, the lack of a heading when space had been allowed for one may suggest that it was an addition, as al
l
 the other spaces left for chapter heads in the county were filled.  Moreover, the vermilion used for the initial letters of each entry within this section does not seem to be the same as that used in the main text here. Only the first two of the three co
lumns (folio 208a,}{\insrsid9120730  }{\insrsid3220948 b) were rubricated; the }{\insrsid9120730 main }{\insrsid3220948 scribe}{\insrsid9120730  of Great Domesday}{\insrsid3220948 
 may have left the ink to dry before turning over the page and then failed to return to rubricate the last three entries on folio 208c.

hese hundreds, the estates are not listed in the order of the Domesday chapters, nor is the sequence of lands within chapters preserved, nor are parts of villages kept together, nor fiefs kept intact: thus Hail Weston is listed in D10-11;13 while D9-13 co
rrespond to Domesday entries 19,26. 25,1. 19,27;31;28. Thus the information, though arranged by hundreds, does not seem to have been derived from a document as formally arranged as the }{\i\insrsid3220948 Inquisitio Comitatus Cantabrigiensis}{
\insrsid3220948 , in which all the parts of each vill would be brought together, unless subsequent revision, copying and abbreviation have produced disorder.
\par }{\insrsid9120730 \tab That the 'men of the c}{\insrsid3220948 ounty' were actually representatives of the hundreds is shown by the correspondence between 19,15 and D21 where 'the whole hund
red' in the first is replaced by 'the county' in the second, unless the 'county' merely nodded through the evidence of the hundred.
\par \tab The attachment of this text to Great Domesday suggests that it was produced as part of the same process. It may well be tha
t these statements were made at the same time as the manorial and feudal material that was to form Great Domesday was confirmed on oath. In other counties, these statements might have been attached to the manorial entries themselves; in Huntingdonshire th
ey seem to have been drawn together in this separate section, leaving only three statements by the hundred or the men of the hundred in the text (6,17. 19,15. 20,1).
\par \tab It is difficult to find any evidence that the statements of the jurors pre-date or postdate the situation described in Great Domesday. D21 concerning }{\insrsid9120730 Great }{\insrsid3220948 
Gidding and the corresponding entry in 19,15 contain virtually identical wording on the subject of the claim o}{\insrsid9120730 f Al}{\insrsid3220948 wold and his brothers, suggesting that the Declaration and the main Domesday
 Huntingdonshire text had a common source. The erroneous figure of 36 hides in D24 (see D2}{\insrsid3220948\charrsid9120730 4 Brampton note}{\insrsid3220948 
) suggests that the information was derived from a source that contained full manorial detail rather than from a separate and speci
fic court session. The same may be true of the rest, bearing in mind that Great Domesday is an abbreviation of the mass of material produced by the Inquest. The survival}{\insrsid9120730  in D3}{\insrsid3220948  of a formula}{\insrsid9120730 
 found in the }{\i\insrsid9120730 Liber Exoniensis}{\insrsid3220948  (see D3 }{\insrsid9120730\charrsid9120730 d}{\insrsid3220948\charrsid9120730 ay note}{\insrsid3220948 ) suggests that the s
ource of the Declarations was the circuit returns, and that some details that would firmly tie a particular Declaration to an individual estate have been lost in the separate processes of abbreviation that produced the main Domesday Huntingdonshire text a
nd the Declarations themselves; see D1}{\insrsid3220948\charrsid9120730 1 }{\insrsid9120730\charrsid9120730 h}{\insrsid3220948\charrsid9120730 ides note.}{\insrsid3220948 
\par \tab The Declarations are not primarily lists of disputes. They often concern suspect changes of tenure, even where no claim is being made, or an assertion about who actually held in 1066 or a statement that o
ne place was a jurisdiction of another. There are disputes and statements of a similar nature recorded in the text that are not in the Declarations, for example at 2,2;6;8. 6,7-8. 8,4. 19,13;18. 20,3. But a comparison between the outcome of those only lis
t
ed in the text and those occurring only in the Declarations does not suggest that there is any difference of substance or result: some estates remained in the fief to which the main Domesday Huntingdonshire text allocates them; others went to their claima
nts. Thus the disputes mentioned in the text of Great Domesday are not those that had been resolved, nor are those in the Declarations claims awaiting judgement.
\par \tab Stenton took the view that 'the purpose of the Declarations is to give the relevant facts which would decide the issue before the king' (}{\i\insrsid3220948 VCH Huntingdonshire}{\insrsid3220948 
, i. p. 316). This seems excessively legal and formal. It seems rather that the Declarations are a list of what various hundredal juries said in passing or when asked 'anything else to declare?'

Roffe has suggested that the contents of the Declarations represent}{\insrsid9120730  a later stage in the Domesday E}{\insrsid3220948 nquiry and this might be a reason for its possible addition: Roffe, \lquote Introduction\rquote ,}{\i\insrsid3220948

-97. However, as discussed above, there is no evidence that the hearings at which the jurors are said to have given evidence were not the shire court sessions which preceded the circuit volumes and the writing up of Great Domesday. The majority of the inf
o
rmation given in this section merely expands that of the main Huntingdonshire text, rather than providing the results of a further series of court hearings. The occasional differences in content or detail between it and the main text may simply suggest th

The amount of land held in lordship is only sporadically included in Huntingdonshire, though included regularly in }{\insrsid8025768 several }{\insrsid8025768\charrsid8193144 other counties in Great Domesday. Like the portion of the estate held by }{
\insrsid8025768 the }{\insrsid8025768\charrsid8193144 villagers and others}{\insrsid8025768 ,}{\insrsid8025768\charrsid8193144  it was probably}{\insrsid8025768  provided in the circuit volume}{\insrsid8025768\charrsid8193144 
 (thought to be the immediate source of Great Domesday for most if not all circuits) but was edited out}{\insrsid8025768  in the production of Great Domesday}{\insrsid8025768\charrsid8193144 .}{\insrsid8025768 
 The reason why it was only included in the following entries in Huntingdonshire is unclear: 1,6;10. 4,4
. 5,1. 6,12;22-26. 7,2-6. 8,1. 10,1. 11,1-2. 13,1 (a later interlineation by the main scribe). 14,1. 15,1. 17,1. 19,27;29. 20,1-2;4. The formula is usually 'now in lordship }{\i\insrsid8025768 x }{\insrsid8025768 ploughs on }{\i\insrsid8025768 y }{
\insrsid8025768 hides of this land', listed immediately before the villagers and other population, but in 20,1-2 the formula is 'In lordship 2 \'bd hides of this land. Now \'85
 2 ploughs there'. These entries are for lands predominately in 'Leightonstone' (including Kimbolton) Hundred and Normancross Hundred, with three in Toseland Hundred. No lordship land was included for places in 'Hurstingstone' Hundred, b}{
\insrsid8025768\charrsid8025768 ut this was not connected with the exemption mentioned in B21 (B21 ploughs note}{\insrsid8025768 ). Not all the entries in Huntingdonshire would have had lordship land, but those which included lordship plou
ghs are most likely to have had lord's land recorded in the source material: in the }{\i\insrsid8025768 Liber Exoniensis}{\insrsid8025768 
, which was edited to produce the five south-western counties (circuit II) of Great Domesday, the lordship land and ploughs and the villagers' land and plou
ghs were detailed in one sentence. Thus one would have expected lordship land to have been included in 1,1-2;5;7. 2,1-8. 4,1-3. 6,1-9;11;13-16;18-20. 7,1. 8,2. 9,1-3. 12,1. 16,1. 18,1. 19,1-3;6;8;14-15;17-20;23-24;30. 20,6-9. 21,1. 22,1-2. 23,1. 24,1. 25,
1
-2. 26,1. 28,1. 29,5. All these entries (except for 6,18. 19,15;17-20;24) were designated as manors, as were all the entries where the lordship land was included. It is interesting that lordship land is mentioned in the manor of Sibson at 7,6, but not in 
another holding there at 9,3, despite each estate being virtually a mirror image of the other (see 7,6 }{\insrsid8025768\charrsid8025768 Sibson note}{\insrsid8025768 ).
