CLAVERING HUNDRED.
In Domesday Book called Clavelinga, from Clay (as Clay by the sea
coast, and Clacklose hundred, of which see there) and Linga, lying or
being seated by the water and low meadows. It was in the Crown and
united to the hundred of Loddon, and farmed together, by Sir John
de Clavering, in the reign of Edward I. as in Loddon hundred. This
family might take their name from the town of Clavering, situated
near the rise of the river Stort, in the hundred of Clavering in Essex,
of which town Sir John de Clavering, a nobleman, being lord, in the
reign of King Edward I. was by that King's appointment called De
Clavering.
