Barchampe : Matilda de Bercampo occurs in the records of 1198 (Rotuli Curiae Regis). This would appear to be merely an English local name: formerly given to the manor and hundred of Barcombe in Sussex. "Bercamp" was held before the Conquest by Earl Godwin, and afterwards included in the Rape of the Earl of Moreton. William Bardolf, 38 Hen. II. procured a charter of free warren at Bercamp and his other manors in the county. But here we need concern ourselves with it no further.
