Comments:
Ekwall 1925, suggests identification with Little Aston and Great Barr, Staffs ; Forsberg 1970, pp. 20, 27-31, 43, on element in bounds ; Hart 1972, p. 126, on formulation ; Keynes 1978, p. 171 ; Keynes 1980, p. 48 n. 89, on charter-type ; Hooke 1983, pp. 31, 100, 102-3, 104, on bounds ; Chaplais 1985, p. 50, perhaps drafted by Bishop Cenwald ; Forsberg 1987, on bounds ; Gould 1987, on bounds ; Hart 1992, p. 435, forgery ; Keynes 1994, pp. 176, 192 n. 109, spurious in received form, but based in part on a charter of the 'Dunstan B' type ; B, 987 n., suggests it is a charter of Eadwig ; Grundy, Hants., I, p. 64 ; Ekwall, D.E.P.N., p. 450, identifies the stræt lea, stret lie of the bounds as Streetly, Warwicks ; Hart 1970a, p. 32 (no. 129), authentic basis ; Hart, ECNE, no. 87, authentic charter of Eadwig which has been tampered with, perhaps drawn up by Abingdon scribe, accepts Ekwall's identifications
