[370] See Maitland, _Domesday Book and Beyond_, p. 22. [371] _History of Colchester Castle_, p. 141. [372] It has been much debated whether these tiles are Roman or Norman; the conclusion seems to be that they are mixed. See Round's _History of Colchester_, p. 78. [373] The single _Pipe Roll_ of Henry I. shows that he spent £33, 15s. on repairs of the castle and borough in 1130. [374] In operatione unius Rogi (a kiln), £13, 18s. In reparatione muri castelli, £16, 3s. 2d. The projection of the buttresses (averaging 1 ft. 3 ins.) is about the same as that found in castles of Henry I. or Henry II.'s time. [375] Ad faciendum Ballium circa castellum, £50. _Pipe Rolls_, xix., 13. This is followed by another entry of £18, 13s. 7d. "in operatione castelli," which may refer to the same work. [376] Round's _History of Colchester_. [377] _Close Rolls_, i., 389. Mandamus to the bishop of London to choose two lawful and discreet men of Colchester, "et per visum eorum erigi faceatis palicium castri nostri Colecestrie, quod nuper prostratum fuit per tempestatem." [378] Round's _History of Colchester_, pp. 135, 136. [379] Tota civitas ex omnibus debitis reddebat T. R. E., £15, 5s. 4d., in unoquoque anno. Modo reddit £160. D. B., ii., 107. [380] Eyton, _Key to Domesday_, p. 43. This passage was kindly pointed out to me by Dr Round. The castle is not mentioned in Domesday under Wareham, but under Kingston. "De manerio Chingestone habet rex unam hidam, in qua fecit castellum Warham, et pro ea dedit S. Mariæ [of Shaftesbury] ecclesiam de Gelingeham cum appendiciis suis." D. B., i., 78b, 2. [381] "Advocatio ecclesie de Gillingeham data fuit abbati [_sic_] de S. Edwardo in escambium pro terra ubi castellum de Corf positum est." _Testa de Nevill_, 164b. [382] It is by no means certain that Corfe was the scene of Edward's murder, as we learn from a charter of Cnut (_Mon. Ang._, iii., 55) that there was a Corfe Geat not far from Portisham, probably the place now called Coryates. [383] Called by Asser a _castellum_; but it has already been pointed out that _castellum_ in early writers means a walled town and not a castle. (See p. 25.) Wareham is a town fortified by an earthen vallum and ditch, and is one of the boroughs of the _Burghal Hidage_. (See Ch. II, p. 28.) A Norman castle was built there after the Conquest, and its motte still remains. D. B. says seventy-three houses were utterly destroyed from the time of Hugh the Sheriff. I., 75. [384] Edred granted "to the religious woman, Elfthryth," supposed to be the Abbess of Shaftesbury, "pars telluris Purbeckinga," which would include Corfe. _Mon. Ang._, ii., 478. [385] Both these kings spent large sums on Corfe Castle. See the citations from the _Pipe Rolls_ in Hutchins' _Dorset_, vol. i., and in Mr Bond's _History of Corfe Castle_.
