ARDINGTON in the reign of Edward the Confessor was held by two freemen, Edvin and Sawin. In 1086 both their estates had passed into the possession of Robert Doyley, of whose honour of Wallingford they were subsequently held as one knight's fee. In Edvin's holding there was a mill worth 11s. and 26 acres of meadow. The second and larger holding had two mills, one of which was unsuccessfully claimed by Cola, an Englishman. The whole of Robert's estate in Ardington was worth the considerable sum of £20.
