Editing East Horsley (section)

===Manors===
East Horsley appears in [[Domesday Book]] of 1086 as having two manors, listed under the chief manor's heading of ''Horslei''. This was held by [[Lanfranc]], [[Archbishop of Canterbury]]. Its domesday assets were: 3 [[hide (unit)|hide]]s and 1½ [[virgate]]s; 8½ [[plough]]s, [[woodland]] worth 50 [[hog (swine)|hog]]s. It rendered £5 per year to its [[feudal system|overlords]].<ref>[http://www.gwp.enta.net/surrnames.htm Surrey Domesday Book] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071030192829/http://www.gwp.enta.net/surrnames.htm |date=30 October 2007 }}</ref>

The Bishop's Manor in East Horsley seems to have belonged to the [[Diocese of Exeter|see of Exeter]] throughout the [[Middle Ages]]. Malden writing in 1911 associates closely the Domesday entry in Latin meaning 'Bishop Osborn of Exeter holds Woking' with this manor which his successors later held, since there is no trace of any land held by the Bishop of Exeter in Woking in [[pipe rolls]], [[Assize Rolls]], [[feet of fines]] or the records of [[Lambeth Palace]].<ref name=m/>
