SHELFORD, Nottinghamshire:

Doomsday, Scelford.

There was in this Place of Roger de Buslie's Fee, Soc to Bingham, as much as paid 
the Geld for three Bov. The Land was one Car. But the most of it was the Fee of 
Goisford de Alselin, who succeeded Tochi, a great Saxon Owner in this County, who 
was rated before the Conquest for his Manor in Scelford, to the Dane Gelt, at four Car. 
The Land of it was eight Car. when the Conqueror took his Survey. There were thirty-
six Vill. twelve Bord. having nine Car. and one Mill 4s. and one Piscarry. There were a 
Priest and a Church. In the Confessor's Time the Value of this was 8l. then but 4l. It 
had Soc in Newton, Ouetorpe, Chenatorpe, and Carlentune.

This Barony was very antiently divided, and a Priory of Canons, regular of St. Austin's, 
founded here; to which King Stephen granted immunity from Toll.

Ralph Halselin, in the 5th Steph. gave an Account of two hundred Marks of Silver, 
and one Mark of Gold, for the Relief of his Father's Land; and the same Year, Robert 
de Cauz, and Walter his Son, gave Account of one hundred Marks of Silver, and one 
Mark of Gold, for the Grant of the Land of Leowin Chidde. In the 7th H. 2. Raph 
Hanselin, and Robert de Cauz, had Pardon for each 20l. In 8. H. 2. Raph Hanselin 
had 25 Knight's Fees, and Robert de Cauz fifteen; and so they were constantly rated 
through the Reign of Henry the Second.

In the Suit between William Bardolf, and Adam de Everingham, for the Patronage of 
this Monastry, 42 H. 3. William Bardolf pleaded, that Raph Hanselin, his Ancestor, 
whose Heir he was, in the Time of King Henry, Grandfather of the then King Henry the 
Third, founded that Priory, and enfeoffed it of all his Lands in Shelford, and divers 
other Lands. Adam would have his Ancestor Robert de Cauz, Founder, because the 
Canons presented a certain Person to John de Birking, Grandfather of the said Adam, 
whose Heir he was: but the Jury found for William Bardolf, and he was the true Patron, 
and that it was founded by Raph Haunselin; and indeed Bardolf's Moiety, of all or most 
of their Churches, was appropriated to this Priory of Shelford; as Gedling, in this 
County, and Westborough, and Dodington, in Lincolneshire, and the like; for it 
appears that the said William and Adam, had each a Moiety of the Barony of Shelford, 
and their Courts there; but because by Degrees the Priory became possessed of it, will 
not be amis to make further mention of the Family of Bardolf, in Stoke, and of 
Everingham, in Laxton, which continued longer to their Posterities.
