Profile

Among Archbishop Stigand’s extensive landed interests in East Anglia was a scrap of 20 fiscal acres at Brampton in north-east Suffolk, 5 miles back from the coast, held TRE by the free man Thorsten. Thorsten tilled his land with 1 ploughteam, owned a horse, and kept a few sheep and couple of pigs; under him were two bordars and a free man with 2 acres paying 6d. rent. This farm was remote enough from other Thorstens in East Anglia for the identification of this Thorsten with any of them to be highly improbable.
