Barcheston, after the Norman conquest had been divided, 2.5 hides with a mill being held under William fitz Corbucion by Johais, and 1 hide less 0.5 virgate being held of the King in Chief by Alvric. Johias, being Simon de Whitacres grandfather, would have been a Barcheston, as would have been his son, Edwinus.
