    • Here is declared in this document that Godwine grants to Leofwine the Red the swine-pasture at Swithrædingdænne [? Southernden] as a perpetual inheritance— to have during his day and to give away after his day to whomsoever it may be dearest to him— at the price which Leofsunu had to pay him, that is two pounds and forty pence and eight ambers of corn. Now Leofwine grants this swine-pasture to him to whom Boctun [? Boughton Malherbe, Kent] may go after his day. The witnesses of this are Bishop Lyfing [Canterbury] and Abbot Ælfmær [St Augustine’s] and the community at Christ Church and the community at St Augustine’s and Sired and Ælfsige cild and Æthelric and many another good man within and without the borough.
