Notes

*Wallenberg, KPN, pp. 93-100, on place-names; Ward 1941, p. 64; Harrison 1973, p. 61, date perhaps emended; Witney 1976, pp. 246-7, on swine-pastures; Keynes 1993/1, p. 114, cited; Kelly, St Augustine's, pp. ciii-iv, 65-70, authentic charter with beneficiary's name altered first to Abbot Wernoth and later to Abbot Cunred, anachronistic subscription of Archbishop Wulfred may reflect conflation of original witness-list with that of a later confirmation.
