    Note: From The Cambridge Medieval History Series volumes I - V “The conclusion, that hallmoots had become fairly common institutions by 1050, is not reall open to question, being based on the collective evidence of hundreds of passages scattered up and down the Domesday Survey, which tell us that some church magnate or some fairly important layman had enjoyed the privilege of ‘sake and soke’ (saca et soca) over this or that estate, or over this or that group of men, in the days of King Edward… The simplest but least instructive references to sake and soke are found in certain schedules, which merely record the names of persons who had been entitled to sake and soke under King Edward. For example, we have a list of fifteen persons who had enjoyed the franchise in Kent, a list of nineteen who had enjoyed it in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, and a list of thirty-five who had enjoyed it in Lincolnshire…. Elsewhere the information as to sake and soke is more often given in respect of particular places. We read for example under Essex, that Robert, son of Wilmarc, the king’s staller, had sake and soke over the half-hundred of Claveringl under Suffolk, that Ulwyn of Hedingham had sake and soke over his estates at Lavenham, Burgate and Waldingfield, and under Warwickshire…”
