Profile

Molland and Brayley were small estates about 8 miles apart on the southern edge of Exmoor, bigger on the ground than their fiscal assessment and values suggest, since they had land for 4 and 6 ploughs respectively. They passed to different tenants-in-chief but are within the geographical range which allows them to be assigned to the same holder. The north Devon holdings of Bishop Geoffrey and Odo fitzGamelin interlocked with one another in a complicated way, and the basis on which they were created is not apparent. Molland and Brayley are a long way from Wulfwynn of Creslow’s nearest manors and they were tiny in comparison with her smallest property.
