Notes

*HS, p. 307, spurious; Robinson 1921, p. 30 n. 2, 10th century; Grundy, Somerset, pp. 75-7, bounds are those of West Pennard; Finberg 1969, pp. 73-4, MS 1 pseudo-original, not evidence for Patrick's cult at Glastonbury in 7th century; Stenton 1971, p. 67 and n. 2, somewhat questionable, hand of MS 1 may be 11th-century, but imitating and earlier exemplar; Finberg, ECW, no. 360, authentic basis; Scott 1981, pp. 90, 198 n. 83; Wormald 1985, p. 25, unreliable later copy, possibly genuine elements; Edwards 1988, pp. 11-15, may be reworking of genuine 7th-century charter but difficult to say how much text has been revised; Costen 1992, p. 40, on estate; Rands 1992, on bounds; Abrams 1996, p. 11, on transmission of MS 1, p. 19 n. 56, on endorsement, pp. 29, 31, 35, 38, on MS sources, p. 126, MS 1 possibly 10th-century, pp. 195-8, on estate.
