1
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
