", after Ernulf, the Bishop of Rochester, Kent from 1115-1124"

I removed the above from the article. The reason it can't be true is that Eynesbury is already called 'Einuluesberie' at Domesday, so a twelfth-century bishop is right out of contention.

Seems reasonable to me! 'Ernulf' is a Saxon name, not a Norman one, so the settlement would have been named before the conquest, any time between about 400 and 1066 AD. Can anyone find sources to support or reject this reasoning? (By the way, it's considered good manners to sign your contributions to talk. You can do that simply by putting four tildes '~' after a space at the end of your typing. The system replaces these with your name or IP address and the date and time. It helps later when reviewing a discussion. Thanks!) Chris Jefferies 22:42, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
