Picot of Cambridge held the manor of 15½ hides. He also held 1 hide from the king, and 1½ hides formed the wara of his manor of Great Chesterford in Essex (the land supplying the obligations of the manor for royal service). Another 2 hides in Hinxton were held by the Bishop of Lincoln, and Robert from him. Durand held 1 hide from Hardwin de Scales. No church is mentioned in Domesday, but Hinxton church was among those given by Picot to Barnwell Priory when he founded it in 1092.
