Notes:

Robert, Osulf?s son, married Christiana, heiress of the Seaton
lands which bordered the Manor of Flemingby. The REGISTER OF ST.
BEES records that:

?I, Robert of Hafrincton, with the consent of my wife, Christiana,
have granted ? to God and Saint Mary, to Saint Bege of Coupland
and the Monks living there ?? the Church of Hafricton and duabus
bovatis of land.?) (This would be what a pair of oxen could plow
in two days, or about two acres.)

Ian Grimble states that this church is the Old Harrington Parish
Church. Since that time it has been repaired and partially rebuilt.

Robert and Christiana, their son, Thomas, and their grandson,
Michael, lived in Harrington since the REGISTER calls them de
Haverington. Their great-grandson, Robert, lost all but about
380 acres of the Manor of Flemingby in litigation with the Abbott
of Holm Cultram, whose lands were north of the Manor. However,
by marriage to Agnes, daughter of Sir Richard Cansfield, he
secured the rich manor of Aldingham on Morcambe Bay in Lancashire
and moved south to that location.

Notes:

A century after the beginning of the Norman Conquest of England
in 1066, Osulf (Latin, Osulphus), holder of the Manor of Flemingby,
appeared in history with a gift of distance north of the Town of
Harrington of today.. The site of his residence and the hamlet
which, no doubt, surrounded it is marked now by the Village of
Flisby. It is a residential village with a population of about
twelve hundred.

Osulf was undoubtedly of Norman ancestry since his descendants
used the ancient Norman shield design show in the frontispiece,
In addition, large land holdings such as his were held by the
Norman conquerors and their descendants.
