A Domesday Godric in Burgh.  (In Edmund Oldfield's "Topographical and Historical Account of Wainfleet and the Wapentake of Candleshoe") on p88 it is stated: -

" ... The account of this parish in the record of Domesday is as follows. Land of Earl Alan. Soke..  In Burch [Burgh] is soke of Drayton.  One carucate and a half of land to be taxed.  Land to twelve oxen.  Three sokemen and two villanes and three bordars have there one plough and a half.  Land of Eudo, son of Spirewic. Calnodshow [sic - Candleshoe] Wapentake.  Manor in Burgh.  Godwin and Tochi and Godric had nine oxgangs of land to be taxed.  Land to as many oxen. ..."   

Note the "had".  If a correct translation of the actual entry, this tends to suggest dispossession.  Earl Alan was Earl of Britany and Richmond, and "Nephew to the Conqueror"  (note the capital 'n').  The writer continues:  "... In the division of the landed property of the kingdom, amongst the military adventurers who by their prowess advanced him to the throne, William gave to this Earl the confiscated estates of the Saxon Earl Edwin, the eldest son of Algar, Earl of Mercia.  If therefore the property possessed by the Earls of Richmond in Burgh, formed part of the immense estate of the unfortunate Edwin, it will of course follow that a part of this parish was prior to the conquest in the possession of the Earls of Mercia. ..." 

Under Scremby:- 

... "In the same Scremby Chetelber claims one carucate of Gilbert de Gand by Godric ... [ read: 'of Gaunt'  -  Gilbert ('g' pronounced as the 's' in 'pleasure') was William's wife Matilda's nephew and was rewarded with 172 lordships in different parts of the kingdom,  113 of them in Lincolnshire (seat at Falkingham) ]  ,... and they say that he had only  half a carucate, and the soke of it was in Bardney, and the jury of the wapentake say Chetelber claims it unjustly, because his predecessor forfeited it." ... 

Make of this what you will. But it seems to confirm my long gathering belief that during the Reformation many ancient unforgotten scores were settled  in so far as they could be and that Bishop Goodricke was (may have been) well aware that once long ago in the 11th century his forebears had been dispossessed here and there by the Conqueror and his tribe of Frenchmen.  Goodricke was a 'Saxon', OK! And the Tudor monarchs, representing the house of Lancaster (Bolingbroke) as they did, were because of John of Gaunt less of Norman descent than the house of York. And had not John of Gaunt supported the 'heretic' Wycliffe of the English Bible at the end of the 14th beginning of the 15th century. And was that not precisely what the Roman Catholic church wished to keep out of our churches (but Henry VIII let in) lest the people get wise to the ignorance of their priests and the depravity of their superstitions.

In Saxon counties, land was measured by the hide, which was as much land as would support one free family and its dependants. On good land, this might be as little as 60 acres; but up to 240 acres on poor land. The term comes from the Old English hi(gi)d, from hiw-, hig-, household. The measurement was purely for assessing tax, and does not imply there actually were free families on the land. Smaller holdings were measured in the virgate, one quarter of a hide. while a quarter of a virgate was known as a furlong.

In addition to the usual weights and measures, there were several specialised units for specific goods;

Money was expressed in the denarius, the english silver penny, which was the only coin in circulation in 1086. Other units did not correspond to any actual coin:
