Profile
Manna 10’s small holding lay within the great manor of Chilcomb in Hampshire, a possession of the monks of the Old Minster, Winchester, that included much of the land around the city (Munby 1982: Ch3 Notes) and was under the lordship of Stigand 1 in his role as bishop of Winchester. Manna is named among several people who held land within Chilcomb TRE and who ‘could not withdraw with their land to another lord’, indicating that they were dependent tenants. It is possible that he was a religious associated with the Old Minster who held his land as a prebend.DB does not give a hidage or value for Manna’s land, noting simply that his successor held the ‘land for 3 ploughs’ that had been Manna’s TRE; but if the total value of Chilcomb manor is divided in proportion to the ploughlands within it then Manna’s land would be valued at just under £3 5s.
The name Manna was not as rare as the PASE classification of head-forms suggests, which means that although Manna 10 and Manna 11 shared the same name and held estates that were probably less than 15 miles apart, the small sizes of those estates and the difference in their lords render it unsafe to presume that they were the same person; the possibility is noted here, but more evidence would be needed to press the case further.
