Torchil
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Torchil de Bovington (or Boynton) was an 11th. century landowner in Norman England.
William the Conqueror's Domesday Book census of England was taken about 1086, listing both those who had land before the Norman Conquest of 1066 and who held it in 1086. Torchil [or Turchil] is mentioned as a landowner sixty-four times[1]. He held over 60 manors, either alone or in conjunction with others, and almost all were located in Yorkshire.
