Nunkeeling

[3] Nunkeeling is noted in the Domesday Book in 1086 as Keeling (spelled Chilinghr[4]) in Holderness Wapentake.[5] The listed lord of the manor, Drogo de la Beuvrière, fled England in 1087 following the death of his wife.The -ing suffix was used in Old English to form derivatives of masculine nouns and indicates 'belonging to',[6] so the land at some time in its Anglo-Saxon past likely belonged to descendants of a man who spoke Old Norse, whose name was Latinised as Chil and in Anglicised as Keel.The name of the hamlet changed from Keeling to Nunkeeling [7] due to the fame of Nunkeeling Priory, built by Agnes de Arches during the reign of King Stephen for Benedictine nuns.Eventually the priory owned most of the surrounding land but declined into poverty.
