1 It is noteworthy that the Hundred Rolls describe the virgaters as ‘ serfs holding 8 acres each, making 2½ virgates altogether’, implying that the unit here is the small pastoral virgate. To the local officials the virgate was a unit of tenure whatever its size; to the royal officials it was becoming a standard measure of 32 acres.
