Notes
*Stenton 1918, p. 451, poor copy of a probably genuine charter (= Stenton 1970, p. 65); Rose-Troup 1929, pp. 276-7; Fägersten 1933, p. 192, on place-name; Finberg 1953, no. 9; Finberg, ECW, no. 565, authentic; Hart 1964, pp. 158-9, on bounds; Stenton 1971, p. 301, cited; Keynes 1980, p. 32 n. 53; Edwards 1988, pp. 234-5, authentic, boundary clause added; Keynes 1994/2, pp. 1112-13; Kelly, Shaftesbury, pp. 11-16, authentic basis, but probably reworked to create a charter for Shaftesbury's 5-hide estate at Stoke Wake, the western half of the 10-hide Woolland property. The details of the redivision between the sisters and the boundary clause are likely to be interpolations, and the dispositive section may have been partly rewritten. The bounds probably refer to Stoke Wake only.
