There is a boundary for Little Bedwyn in S264 (L264.0) which has some points in common with this Back to text

The river Bedwyn Back to text

Note that LangScape's lemma 'graf' includes also 'græfe', and 'græf' includes also '*grafa' (See LangScape Glossary) Back to text

But note S688's 'weall weg' before the 'eorð burg' (in L688.0, the bounds of Burbage.) Back to text
10
This is the feature which has given its name to Burbage; CDEPN suggests some doubt as to whether Burbage is named after a stream or a ridge ('bæce' or 'bæc'), but cp. MS 3's 'burh beces' and S688's 'burg beces' which, together with the modern pronunciation, favour 'stream' Back to text
11
Cp. S688's 'bidan ham' (L688.0, bounds of Burbage); VEPN associates it with 'byden' (bowl/hollow) Back to text
12
Although this may well be an otherwise unrecorded personal name Back to text

'hlæddredan' in MS 3 Back to text
14
