Cleyfele and the place names associated with it, see 102, 104 , and the notes there. The orientations as given here are confusing, and there may be some errors. However, since only the main points of the compass were used in the charters when describing land, it was often impossible to be precise; and the scribe here, writing an unusually neat business hand seen again in below, was perhaps not familiar with Hanley.
