Profile

Selham was a manor of 4 hides in the valley of the western Rother, 10 miles north of Chichester, standing on the belt of fertile Greensand between the South Downs and the Weald. In 1086 it included a watermill and a house in Chichester. Cuthwulf held it TRE ‘from Earl Godwine’, antedating his tenure to the years before Godwine’s death in 1053.

A remote possibility is that Cuthwulf 16 was the same person as Cuthwulf 14. After 1053 Cuthwulf 16 presumably held Selham from Earl Harold; Cuthwulf 14 was also Earl Harold’s tenant, in Hampshire. But the estates in question are over 50 miles apart, a distance too great (given the size of the manors concerned) for the identity of their holders to be at all likely.
