Profile

The text does not make it clear where this estate was located. The relevant entry simply records that Godescal, who held 2 hides at Winterbourne in 1086, also held ‘half a hide which Guthmund held TRE’. It has therefore been plotted at Winterbourne in the map above, but may have been located elsewhere in Wiltshire.

Wherever in Wiltshire the estate was located, it lay some distance from most of the other estates attributed to men named Guthmund, with the possible exception of the two Dorset estates held by Godmund 2. However, the estate in question was much smaller than the two held by Godmund 2, passed to a different successor, and the names are spelt differently in Domesday Book; the balance of probability, therefore, is that they were different people.
