Wiberton, they say, has its name from Guibertus, a great man here formerly. There is a place called Multon hall, which belonged to the aforementioned Thomas de Multon. Here is likewise Titton hall: the chapel is now converted into a stable. [Sidenote: +Frampton.+] Hard by is Frampton, probably from the Anglo-Saxonic _Faran_, _trajicere_: for here they passed over the river in a ferry, before Boston bridge was built; as at Framton, in Gloucestershire, upon the Severn, and Framilode passage. Farnton by Newark, where now is the ferry over the Trent. Gosberton, from _Gosbèrt_, or _Gosbright_, I suppose lord of the town before the Conquest. Fossdike seems to be _Fordsdike_, where we pass over the Washes. [Sidenote: +Skirbeck.+] Skirebec doubtless has its name from the Saxon, _scire_, division, because here the river parts the hundreds. Here was an hospital of knights of St. John of Jerusalem, now intirely demolished, though the church was standing within memory of man. There was another religious house near the church: the remains of it is now the parsonage-house. Such names of towns as Fishtoft, Butterwick, Swineshead, Cowbyte, and the like, seem easy enough. [Sidenote: +Sibsey.+] [Sidenote: +Leverton.+] Sibsey church has very handsome pillars and circular arches, somewhat after the Roman mode. The top of the steeple is added upon the old work; perhaps from its watery situation; _sipan_, to steep. Leverton, _Leofrici oppidum_: he was a potent man thereabouts at the time of the Normans coming, and gave to the town much common: his deed of gift is now in possession of the reverend and worthy vicar, Mr. William Falkner, which I have seen. [Sidenote: +Frieston.+] Frieston, a _frith_, _æstuarium_; so Ald Friston in Sussex, near Cuckmere haven. Here was an opulent monastery founded by Guy de Croun, whose genealogy I shall not think much to recite, because it relates to the antiquities of this country, and in some measure shows the reason of what my friend Mr. Becket, surgeon, much wondered at when he searched the old repository of wills at the Prerogative Office in London, where he observed more of this country than any other in England. The GENEALOGY Of the +Craons+, _Credon_, _Crodon_, _Croun_, the most illustrious family of Anjou, and one of the most illustrious in France, which came into England with William the Conqueror. The barony of Craon is the first and most considerable in Anjou: it is a small city in that province upon the river Oudon near Bretagne, encompassed with walls.[24] A. D. 940.
