Middlesex Settlements Mentioned in the Domesday Book

Name the Middlesex settlements that are mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086). Sources: opendomesday.org; domesdaybook.co.uk
Modern names are used as answers, the contemporary spellings will appear when answers are entered.
Excluded are settlements that are now lost or very small/disparate, as well as settlements that now fall outside of Middlesex's borders.
"n.r." = population not recorded.
The populations included are calculated by a simple formula (number of households recorded x 5). There seems to be agreement that this method can be used as a basic estimate of population, but there are many, many problems with it that I won't spell out. Needless to say the multiple levels of uncertainty make these numbers so unreliable as to be almost meaningless, but I included them as they at least give a good idea of the size of the settlements relative to each other.
