Profile

At the other end of Kent, nearly 60 miles from Deoring 5’s downland manor, a different Deoring, Deoring son of Sigeræd, had a small estate of ½ suling and ½ yoke on the coast at Deal. In the St Augustine’s Excerpts the name appears as Diryng, suggesting that it was Dyring rather than Deoring, though it is not clear that the Excerpts should be given priority over GDB. Deoring was a canon of the important royal church of St Martin, down the coast at Dover, and a member of a clerical dynasty (Barlow 1979: 133): his father Sigeræd held two of the church’s manors TRE (Kent M:3, 22) and Sigeræd’s father one (Kent M:6). That makes Deoring a young man in 1066, but, unlike his father (Kent M:6), he did not survive as a canon in 1086.
