Newcastle-on-Tyne.
_Domesday Book._--What does the abbreviation glđ, or gelđ, applied to
terra, signify? Also, in the description of places, there is frequently a
capital letter, B., or M., or S. before it, as in one case, _e. g._ "B.
terr. glđ wasta." Can any one inform me what it signifies?
In the case of many parishes, it is stated that there was a church there:
is it considered _conclusive_ authority that there was not one, if it is
not mentioned in _Domesday Book_?
