Profile

The two estates in question are 6 miles apart, are attributed to a name not otherwise recorded in any source, and were given by Earl Hugh to the same subtenant. There is no question but that they were the same person.

There was a second manor at each place. At Minshull (1, identified as Church Minshull rather than Minshull Vernon) Deorc was listed first; at Batherton (2) he was listed second. The order may reflect some aspect of his tenure in relation to the other two men involved.
