Profile

Ceolstan 10’s estate was at Grafton, straddling the low watershed between the Bedwyn and the Bourne in east Wiltshire. He shared it with three co-holders TRE: Alwine, Alweald and Leofwine. There is no indication in DB as to how, if at all, these men were related to each other, nor as to how it was shared or divided between them.

In 1086 the estate was held by Ralph de Hauville (Ralph 35), apparently as a serjeanty, and DB records that the four TRE co-holders had held ‘of him’, which implies that Ceolstan and the others were under Ralph’s lordship and were probably dependent tenants.

His share of Grafton was Ceolstan 10’s only estate and there is no other person called Ceolstan recorded as a landholder in DB, either TRE or in 1086.
