Gerbert de Percy recorded 30 knights' fees de veteri and 1 de novo in 1166. Later scutages were charged on 30 knight's fees or on 15 for each half (_Red Book_, pp. 216-217; _Pipe Poll, 7 Hen.

    [10] Hutchins, loc. cit. Robert answered for scutage on 5 knights' fees in 1161. He was possibly son of William de Glastonia who is mentioned in 1131. William and after him Roger de Newburgh were tenants of the abbess of Shaftesbury (_Pipe Roll, 31 Hen. I_, p. 13; idem, _7 Hen. II_, p. 47; _Red Book_, pp. 213-14; _C. Ch. Ri._ ii, pp. 216-218).

In 1207 Hurcot, Somerset, seems to have taken the place of Fordington (_Ch. R. 1199-1216_, p. 157; _C. R. 1204-24_, p. 95; _Fees_, pp. 79, 93-94).
