”The land of Geoffrey Alselin
In Alvaston and Ambaston Thulston and Elvaston Toki had ten carucates of land to the geld. There Geoffrey Alselin[1] has now two ploughs in demesne; and a certain knight of his one plough. There 32 villans have 15 ploughs. There is one priest and a church and a mill rendering 12 shillings and one smith and 52 acres of meadow and a little scrubland.

It also records that Henry de Ferrers held one carucate of land which Geoffrey Alselin held for him.
