Notes

*Stenton 1913, pp. 40-1, cited; Grundy, Berks. 1925, pp. 201-2, on bounds; O'Donovan 1972, p. 37, unexceptionable but date may have been miscopied; PN Berks., i. 91, iii. 640, 642-3, on bounds, not certain charter refers to Barkham, Berks.; Gelling, ECTV, no. 61, authentic; Keynes 1980, p. 68 n. 129, on chrismon; Kelly, Abingdon, no. 47, probably a fabrication, formulation points to 960s or later, MS 1 unlikely to have been contemporary, witness-list from a charter of 953 x 955
