Profile

The name Ealdwig occurs only once in DB (discounting one spelling Aldui now assigned to Ealdwine 18), as the holder of 30 acres at Yaxham, in the Tud valley some 15 west due west of Norwich. The vill was much divided in 1066, among at least 20 sokemen and 10 freemen, with Ealdwig’s holding being the largest (Norf. 4:15; 9:82; 13:22; 15:21–22; 21:20; 66:28). Ealdwig was described in LDB as a priest and a free man, and was presumably the village priest of Yaxham.
