ABBEY appearino: in the schedule.* Hence the value of the MTT T c: ^^__ (three) small rural mills which Roger gave to the 1. Foundation, abbey would be very far from making up the desired ^° ^ ;^i2 per annum. Now, it is remarkable that the monks in no one of their future inspeximus charters, nor in their History of the Fotmdation, nor elsewhere, ever claim to have been endowed with these burgage rentals ; and it will, indeed, be suggested, shortly, that, before the actual '' foundation charter " was drawn up in 1087, this combined gift of city burgages and rural mills, given at the initial stage of the foundation in 1083, had been found, on experience, to be inadequate to meet Roger's ideas, and that he consequently made a suitable change in its nature when the abbey was opened and an abbot installed, in 1087. 2. Grant of 2. Earl Roger's ''foundation charter" is the next City Multure, \\yi\^ in the evidences. From this we learn that, prior to and during the erection of the monastery, the earl and others had vowed various gifts to the foundation, Hist. Shby., but that the monks, who were trustees for the erection, had not been endowed with them. It is already apparent from Domesday that the abbey was built in 1086 ; being and we may gather from the later evidence of the History of the Foundation that it was in 1087 when the building was fairly completed, the abbey at length opened, and an abbot appointed. This, as Ordericus tells us, was Fulchard, of the reign of William Rufus. It was in the last quarter of 1087, therefore, that Roger's charter was drawn up. In it were formally recited all the gifts that had at different * Owen and Blakeway say: "Tlie mill of Ellesmere forms a 1825, ii. 10. remarkable : exception in the time of the Confessor, which was doubled when Domesday was made." This is an error. No valuation is quoted for the mill : the j[^\o is the it paid a rent of ^10 Domesday, rent of the whole manor :— Ipsi com ten^ Ellesmeles : Ibi iiii hidae, i. 254. &c., &c : Ibi molin : T.R.E. reddet» x li'b de firma : Modo xx li'b.
