Boynton: Four estates are recorded in Boynton in 1086, comprising 4, 3, 2, and a half a carucate respectively. The two smaller estates were soke of Bridlington manor.
The 4-carucate estate had been held in 1066 by Torchil and belonged to the count of Mortain by 1086. The count's lands were forfeited for rebellion in 1088 and passed to the Paynel fee, which was later granted to the archbishop of Canterbury. The archbishop's overlordship is last mentioned in 1428.

Bridlington: In 1086 the greater part of Bridlington was in the king's hands: he had in all 13 carucates, 9 of which had been held in 1066 by Morcar and 4 by Carle. A third estate, of 5 carucates, belonged to the count of Mortain, and this had been held in 1066 by Torchil. Bridlington was the centre of a great royal estate at this time, with berewicks at Hilderthorpe and Wilsthorpe and soke in thirteen other townships. After the Survey the king's estates in Bridlington passed to the Gants and the Mortain estate passed, like Boynton, to the Paynels and subsequently to the archbishops of Canterbury, under whom a mesne lordship was held by the Meynells.

Garton on the Wolds: In 1086 there were two estates in Garton. One, of 19 carucates, was held by the count of Mortain, and the other, of 9 carucates, by the archbishop of York.
The count's estate consisted of three separate holdings in 1086. One, held in demesne, contained 8 carucates; another, of 7 carucates, had been held in 1066 by Mule, Orm, Sonulf, and Torchil; and the third, of 4 carucates, had been held as a manor by Asulf. William, count of Mortain, was attainted in 1106 and his lands passed to the Crown. His Garton estate had probably passed by the 1130s to Walter Espec, whose property was divided after his death between the children of his three sisters, Garton passing in 1157-8 to Robert Ros, son of Adelina. The Manor of Garton was held in chief as part of the barony of Helmsley or Ros until 1539.
