TL;DRAbstract
The legal transaction recorded in Latin in British Library, Additional MS 15350, fos 72v–73, is a grant by king Edgar to Byrthelm [Brihthelm], bishop of Winchester, of land at Easton, a village just north-east of Winchester and probably named because of that position. It is dated 961, exists only in a twelfth-century copy, and is judged authentic by Finberg (1964) and by Hart (1970). A set of bounds in Old English (OE) appears as an appendix to the document. These are discussed by Grundy (1924: 88–92). The whole is printed in Birch’s Cartularium Saxonicum (1885–99) as document 1076, and catalogued as no. 695 in Sawyer’s (1968) list of Anglo-Saxon charters.
