Notes:

*@Brown 1969, p. 25, notes that the Feast of the Assumption of the B.V. Mary falls on 15 August and the Feast of St Helen, Empress and Inventrix of the Cross, on 18 August; 'it may well be that Ealdred 1 wrote the memorandum soon after the collects. Another possible explanation of St Helen's appearance in the memorandum is that it records a prayer or charm connected with the recovery of lost property. She is invoked, because she found the Cross after it had been lost, in an Anglo-Saxon charm for the recovery of lost cattle.'
