Notes

Napier and Stevenson, p. 121, date copied wrongly; Grundy, Worcs. 1928, pp. 96-8, on bounds; Finberg, ECWM, no. 318, authentic, internal reference to Ealdorman Ælfric indicates date 983 x 985; Hooke 1980, pp. 43, 45, on boundary marks; Hooke 1985, pp. 140, 147, 148, 149, 241, on boundary marks; Hooke 1990, pp. 315-18, on bounds; King 1996, p. 110; Wareham 1996, pp. 56-7, 58-9.

Notes: Postscript states that Gardulf 1's sons [Anonymi 2] now held the land; one of them is probably the Leofnoth 1 mentioned in the rubric.
