Notes
"Reginald de Chau'nes holds 8 virgates of land in Chau'nes in chief of the prior of St Thomas next to Stafford" ... who holds them of John de Longeford, who holds them of the bishop.
Is Chau'nes Charnes?
ff19v Under title Cottars in Chau'nes: "Roger de Chau'nes holds 15acres in Gratewode.... John his brother holds 3.5 acres there... Richard the carter holds 4.5 acres there..." So is Chau'nes near Greatewood?
