Nigel filius Erfasti, son of Erfast, tenant of Cainhoe, Bedfordshire. About 1130 he granted land in and the church of Henlow, Bedfordshire, to Lanthony priory. He later attemped to revoke the grant, but then repented. Father of a son Richard and daughters, he later became a canon of Llanthony, though a prolonged dispute between the bishops of Hereford and Lincoln concerning his gift at Henlow continued thereafter. In 1166 he was probably represented by Nigel of Marston who held three fees of Cainhoe. [Domesday Descendants p882]
