The west part of Mailscot, adjoining Whippington brook, had apparently included an estate called 'Wiboldingtune'
which had, however, reverted to the Forest waste by 1066. The bishops of Hereford, to whom ownership of the
estate and its fishery was ascribed in 1086, (fn. 21) had a weir in the river Wye there in the late 13th century, and a
clearing of 90 a. between the Bicknor- Staunton highway and the river was known as Bishop's slade in 1282. (fn. 22)
An assart of 40 a. near Whippington brook in 1317 was presumably the parochial land at Braceland, which belonged
to Staunton manor in 1579. The parochial land further west, perhaps the grove of Henry the carter in 1317, was in
1579 a copse of c. 80 a. belonging to Richard Baynham of Clearwell. (fn. 23) The piece of English Bicknor at
Broomhill Tump was probably one of the two assarts held with English Bicknor manor in 1301. (fn. 24)
