Notes

*Stevenson 1887, p. 332, if not a forgery it has been tampered with, the bounds have certainly been modernized; Turner 1915, pp. xxvi-vii; Wallenberg, KPN, pp. 51-3, on place-names; John 1966, p. 25, cited; Scharer 1982, pp. 264-5, spurious; Brooks 1984, p. 319, bounds must have been added but remainder of text seems unobjectionable, date may be miscopied; Kelly, St Augustine's, pp. ciii, 57-60, spurious, fabrication based on a genuine charter of Offa, probably from the later part of his reign and not originally in favour of Abbot Æthelnoth.
