BATTLE ABBEY ROLL
This roll at Battle Abbey claims to be a list of the names of Norman families who fought in the battle of Hastings. It is of somewhat dubious authenticity. It includes the name of Somervile.
Vol II, p.219 (date c.1428):-
Iohannes Somerwill de parochia
de Thelbrygg loco viciniori in parte australi et occidentali dicte parochie
de Wytherygg, libere condicionis, etatis quadraginta annorum et amplius
ut dicit, in qua parochie de Thelbrygg sibi assumpsit originem, ibidem
ducens vitam suam usque in diem presentis examinacionis admissus (etc.),
concordat cum Iohannes Knyghston in omnibus. Non est subnornatus (etc.).
Translation: John Somerwill of the parish of Thelbridge, a neighbouring place to the south-west of the said parish of Witheridge, of free condition, forty years of age and more according to him, in which parish of Thelbridge he was born, spending his life in the same place up to the day of this present inquiry, having been admitted (etc), agrees with John Knyghston in all these matters. He is not (a hired man?) (etc).

Vol II, pp82-83:-
28 Apr 1438 Chuddelegh;
to the archdeacon of Exeter, to enquire in full chapter into the vacancy
and right of patronage of the perpetual vicarage of the parish church of
Louepyt, to which sir Richard Somerwyll chaplain has been presented by
the abbot and convent of Nyweham.
19 June 1438 Chuddelegh; to the archdeacon of Exeter, at the request of sir Richard Somerwyll vicar of Louepyt, to enquire into the disrepair of the vicarage caused by the neglect of sir William Steven his predecessor.
On 25th March 1428 the Commons made a grant to the King of tonnage and poundage, and also laid a tax on parishes and towns throughout England, graduated in proportion to the sums at which their respective churches were taxed for ecclesiastical tithes (tenths). When the value of the church was under ten marks the parish was assessed at 6s 8d and so on in proportion. There was also a levy of 6s 8d on every knight's fee in England (except lands assessed at under a quarter of a knight's fee). This is a tax record, arranged by county and then by hundred.

Translation: John Thilbrige, Thomas Wodhouse and John Somerwill hold half a knight's fee in Thylbrigge and Chadmore, which they hold separated amongst themselves, and none of them holds the whole four parts, and which was previously held, from a long time ago, by Margery Dynelegh (correctly Bynelegh).

DEVON MUSTER ROLL FOR 1569, ed. A.J. Howard & T.L. Stoate (Indexed. Copy at Society of Genealogists)
Each year on a particular
day able-bodied men assembled so that the number of fighting men could
be counted and the state of their weapons assessed.
The entries follow a common
pattern for each parish. First are given the ‘Presenters sworen’, about
four of the most prominent men in the parish. Their names are followed
by, ‘who do presente (as aforesaid)...’ and a list of main officers, often
the same names as the presenters, with a list of their arms. ‘The inhabitants
not particularlie chardged are acessed to fynde and maynteyn ...’ (a further
list of items, eg one caliver, one murrion). Then are given ‘the names
of all thabell menne within the said parish of ... mustered’. These are
listed as archers, harquebusiers, pikemen and billmen.
| Goodlighe Parrishe: | 25 men, including Pikeman John Somerwill |

‘...The late Lord Somerville
purchased a farm in this parish, near the River Lyn, and made some additions
to the house for his occasional residence; it is now the property of his
son, the present Lord, but is about to be sold.’
p.467
‘The manor of Swimbridge
belongs to the Duke of Bedford. Ernsborough gave name to a family who possessed
that manor at an early period. They were succeeded by the Flavells, whose
heiress brought it to Sir John Mules, a younger son of the Lord Mules,
and it continued in his family for several generations. One of the co-heiresses
of the last Sir John Mules brought it to Dabernon, and the heiress of Dabernon
to Gifford (Westcote).
In 1773, it was the joint property of Mr Lewis Somerville and William Berry, Esq., of West Buckland. This estate has been for some time in the family of Hole, and is now the property of Henry Hole, Esq., of Ebberly.’
