Notes

*Grundy, Dorset 1939, p. 68, unable to identify bounds; Barker 1949, p. 73, seems genuine; Watkin, Glastonbury Cart., iii. p. ccvi, associates with Buckland Newton in Dorset; Ekwall, DEPN, pp. 72, 276, identifies as Buckland Denham, Somerset, mention of Kilmersdon in bounds confirms this; Finberg, ECW, no. 466, authentic, accepts as Buckland Denham; Chaplais 1966/1, p. 164, cited (= 1973, p. 47); Hart, ECNE, pp. 19-22, discusses charter-type, which he terms 'Dunstan B', p. 384, cf. GL 79 (S 1737); Keynes 1980, p. 27 n. 40, probably authentic, p. 48 n. 87; Keynes 1994, on charter-type, esp. pp. 173, 185; Abrams 1996, pp. 29, 34, 39, on MS sources, pp. 63-4, on estate history, accepts Buckland Denham identification, pp. 189, 345
