Notes

*Stevenson 1899, p. 46, spurious; Finberg, ECW, no. 365, authentic, grant apparently refers to Isle Abbotts, Stretmerch may be a detached portion of woodland between Broadway and Ashill; Cox 1976, p. 27, on place-name; Wormald 1985, p. 25, unreliable later copy, possibly genuine elements; Edwards 1988, pp. 198-201, authentic basis, present text is a later account of a charter quoted after some introductory material, identification with Isle Abbotts is problematic, grant may refer to Ilminster, Somerset
