Notes
*Napier and Stevenson, p. 104 n. 6, correct date evidently 934; Robertson, Charters, pp. 300-4, possibly a fabrication; Finberg, ECDC, no. 28, identifies Ercecombe as Yarcombe, Devon, adjoining Stockland; Finberg, ECW, no. 580, interpolated; HRH, p. 235, dubious, but subscriptions consistent; O'Donovan 1972, p. 36, belongs in intention to 931 x 934; O'Donovan 1973, p. 105, spurious; PN Dorset, i. 16, 211, 250, 259, 301, 306, 311, 330, 347, iii. 219-20, 222; Hinton 1994, p. 11, on Ower; Hooke 1994, p. 114; Abrams 1996, pp. 187-8, on Ower, p. 235, on Twynham, charter is suspicious; Faith 1997, p. 21 n., on Stockland
