Notes Payments of the sheriff's aid for Beldeston' recorded in Tutbury Honor accounts. Beldeston' is mentioned in the document in conjunction with Twycrosse, Snarkeston' and Norton. Twycross and Norton Juxta Twycross are next to Snarestone in Leicestershire, hence this place - Beldeston' - may not be in Staffordshire. It could be Bilstone nearby to the other three. A Staffordshire parish has to be selected, so Tutbury has been entered. Note that PN Le 6 has forms with medial -d- but the vowel presented in the collection of historic forms is consistently <i> or <y> not <e>.
