For weir-building 40 large rods or 1 load of small rods, or build 8 yokes and wattle 3 ebbs. Of acre-fencing 15 yards, or ditch 15; and ditch 1 yard of burh-hedge, reap 1 acre and a half, mow half an acre. At other work, work as the work requires. [p155] These are the various details of his _week-work_. Then follow the _gafol_-payments. «Gafol.» Sylle vi. penegas ofer éstre, healfne sester hunies tó Hlafmæssan. vi. systres mealtes tó Martines mæsse, an cliwen gódes nettgernes.

Pay 6d. after Easter, half a sester of honey (or mead?) at Lammas. 6 sesters of malt at Martinmas, 1 clew of good net-yarn. On the same land, if he has 7 swine, he pays 3, and so forth at that rate, and nevertheless give mast dues if there be mast. It will be observed that in their _week-work_ the geburs of Tidenham, in addition to strictly agricultural services, had to provide the materials for the puttchers and hedge-weirs, as well as other requisites for the fisheries. What the eight _geocu_ to be built may have been is doubtful; but the tyning or wattling of three ebbs was at once explained on the spot by the lessee of the fisheries, who pointed out that when hackle weirs were used, three separate wattled hedges would always be needed, as, owing to the very various heights of the tide, the hedge must be differently placed for the spring tides, the middle tides, and the neap tides respectively. The '_week-work_' was shown by the '_Rectitudines_' to be the chief service of the gebur, and this _work_, added to the _gafol_, made the holder of the yard-land into a _gebur_, according to the laws of Ine. «No limitation of week-work to three days.» Two things are very striking about the week-work on the manor of Tidenham. (1) There is no limit to three days a week more or less, as in the '_Rectitudines_.' (2) There is a clear adaptation of the week-work [p156] to local circumstances. In particular the fisheries have a prominent regard in its arrangement. As described in the '_Rectitudines_,' the work varied according to the customs of each place. So much for the 'week-work.' «No _bene-work_.» Next, there were at Tidenham no '_precariæ_,' or '_bene_' works, which formed so prominent a feature in the later services. When the week-work was not limited to some days only, clearly there was no need or room for these additional services. Lastly, as to the _gafol_--this formed a prominent feature of the _weorc-ræden_ of the Tidenham yard-land. «_Gafol_ chiefly in produce: honey, &c.» It consisted mainly of the produce of the land, like the gafol of the _gafolgylders_ in the Saxon translation of the parable of 'the unjust steward.' Honey and malt, or ale, and yarn and pork--these, as we shall see by-and-by, were the chief products of this and the adjoining districts of Wales.
