Profile

Wihtnoth 4’s manor was at Leonard Stanley, on the rising ground to the south of the River Frome in Gloucestershire. The DB entry states that Godric and Wihtnoth held land there assessed for 4½ hides ‘as two manors’ TRE, an entry whose formulation that suggests some tenurial or familial connection between the two men even if the details remain obscure.

Milton on Stour lies about 46 miles from Milton on Stour in north Dorset, where Wihtnoth 5 held an estate of 3 hides TRE. This seems slightly too far distant relative to the sizes of their estates for an identity between the two men to be considered, in addition to which their lands passed to different post-Conquest successors.
