- These complex bounds are treated here as one set of bounds, although there appear to be separate units within them Back to text
- 2
- This text several times misses out the relative pronoun 'which' when followed by 'stands', so here presumably 'stan' for 'stant' (stands) Back to text
- 3
- Probably but not necessarily hawthorn Back to text
- 4
- This looks formally like 'wic' (specialised farm), but in this text is more likely to be 'wice' with omission of final -e in this first phrase Back to text
- 5
- A similar construction to that noted above and which occurs again in the next phrase Back to text
- 6
- Possibly a personal name Back to text
- 7
- Either 'up' in error for 'of' (from) or omission of 'of' after 'up' Back to text
- 8
- Locksbrook Back to text
- 9
- The name has survived in Midridge Back to text
- 10
- 'stutard' may be a personal name; the second theme (-heard) is common enough but the first is apparently unattested, so a place-name in -geard is suggested here Back to text
- 11
- A corrupt form of 'ræwe' (row)? Back to text
- 12
- Cp. 'ales beorge' in L661.0 (another set of bounds for Weston) and 'æles beorge' in L265.0 (bounds of North Stoke) Back to text
