In the Domesday Survey the Bishop of Bayeux is recorded as holding 2 half-hides in Bolnhurst. Tovi the priest held a half-hide of him, while two sokemen held the other. It is possible, as the bishop held land in Wilden, that it was a portion of this property which afterwards became the half knight's fee in Bolnhurst and Wilden, held first by Robert de St. Remigius and then by the Tirel family, dealt with under Wilden (q.v.). Another Domesday tenant was the Countess Judith, who held half a hide in Bolnhurst in 1086; but no later trace has been found of the honour of Huntingdon in this parish.
