Godley was a hundred in what is now Surrey, England. Egham, Thorpe, Chertsey and Chobham are all mentioned in the Chertsey Abbey charter of 673AD due to a donation by Frithuwold. Chobham manor needed to be large to have a reasonable economic importance as it covered very poor quality heathland. Most of the population of the hundred would have settled on the more fertile alluvial soil bordering the Thames. Godley appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as ''Godelie''. Godley was a hundred (these are not marked on the Surrey map, which shows only Domesday manors) an administrative area, where local leaders met about once a month.〔(Surrey Domesday Book )〕 It included the manors of Chobham, Egham, Thorpe, Chertsey, Pyrford and Byfleet. Pyrford is within the Godley hundred but unusually lies within the Woking parish.〔(British history )〕 The hundred was probably bounded to the west by the River Blackwater and to the north by the River Thames. To the north was the Land of ''Sunningas''; to the south Woking (hundred) and then the Land of Godhelmingas, to the west the Land of ''Basingas''.〔(Map of area and analysis )〕〔(Chobham information )〕 In the Godley hundred, in Saxon times, the heriot, death duties, usually consisted of the tenants' best beast.〔(Feudal glossary )〕 ==See also== *Medieval Surrey *Surrey hundreds 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Godley Hundred」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
