ESSRS. LYSONS, in their topographical account of Bedfordshire, give the
following list of parishes now existing which they say are not mentioned
in Domesday:—-
 

Dunstable

Hulcote

Kempston
 

Pertenhall

Ridgmount

Souldrop
 

Staughton
Thurleigh
Westoning
 

Whipsnade
Wrestlingworth
 

and  on  the   other hand   they   give   the   following   names   of  places   occurring   in
Domesday  for which  they  can  find  no  equivalent at the present time:—
 

Chernetone

Cudessane

Elvendone
 

Estone              Newentone

Hanefeld           Pechesdone

Lalega              Salchou
 

Segresdone

Stanewiga

Wescote.
 

Neither of these lists, however, is accurate; the latter contains some names which
may be identified with certainty, while it omits others in regard to which we
can at the best make very doubtful guesses; the former contains some which
are unmistakeably mentioned in the Survey. At the same time they have as¬
signed  Camestone,   Carlentone,   and  Risedene,  to wrong localities.

To the former of these lists it is also necessary to add Chellington;
while in the latter might have been placed Cerlentone, Edingeberge, Subberie,
and  Gledlai  and  the very obscure  name  of Chenemondewiche.
 

Taking the former list, namely existing places of which no mention is
made in the Survey, we shall find that only five really fall within that category,
namely,  Chellington, Dunstable,  Souldrop,  Westoning,  and, Whipsnade.
