  • + Here is announced in this document the agreement that Earl Godwine has made between Abbot Ælfstan and the community at St Augustine’s and the priest Leofwine over St Mildryth’s property: namely that Leofwine declared that he had bought the property from King Cnut and the abbot declared that King Cnut had deposited the holy [relics there] and [that her] property [and her] uncles’ wergild was to go unchangeably to St Augustine’s for the servants of God to live upon as long as [Christendom endures]. Now this is the settlement that Earl Godwine made between the abbot and the community at St Augustine’s and the priest Leofwine: [namely that they should] grant to the priest Leofwine two sulungs of land – one at Langdon, the other at Ileden – and five pounds in pence each year, half at St Martin’s mass and half at mid-Lent at Whitsun for his lifetime. And after his day both the property and the money [are to go] to St Augustine’s with the children and the women and all the men born [there], be the abbot who he may be. Now there is as witness of this: Archbishop Eadsige and Bishop Siweard and Earl Godwine, who made the settlement, and the community at Christ Church and the community at St Augustine’s. Now there are three of these documents: one is at Christ Church, the second at St Augustine’s and Leofwine the priest has the third.
