Full Description
{1} The majority of the manor woodland lay about 6 kilometres to the west in Morehay, now part of Southwick parish. These were the two woods called Erleswode and Newhaugh, in Cliffe bailiwick in the forest and are located by Pettit. The latter must explain the extensive tract of woodland belonging to the manor in 1086, 1 league by 9 furlongs which was worth 10/- when stocked and the king was not hunting in it. In 1289 there were 60 acres of wood specified as part of the demesne, lying in the forest of Cliffe.
