Notes

*Grundy, Berks. 1923, pp. 230-3, on bounds; Robertson, Charters, p. 338, date could be wrongly copied, Ælfheah may not have become earl until 959; PN Berks., i. 16, ii. 385, iii. 702, 715-16, bounds cannot be identified precisely; Gelling, ECTV, no. 84, authentic; Rumble 1987, p. 223, on place-name; Kelly, Abingdon, no. 75, probably authentic, dating clause likely to be unreliable
