  • Here it is declared in this document that Thurstan grants the estate at Wimbish to Christ Church, for his soul and for Leofwaru’s and Æthelgyth’s, for the sustenance of the community after Thurstan’s day and after Æthelgyth’s [A2 adds here ‘apart from two hides’]. And each year one pound [is to be paid] as full testimony [of the bequest] as long as we live [A2 omits ‘each year’ and ‘as long as we live’]. And the community at Christ Church is to render whichever they prefer to the community at St Augustine’s: twelve pounds by tale or two hides. [A2 reads ‘And the community at Christ Church is to render for the souls of Thurstan and Æthelgyth to the community at St Augustine’s twelve pounds by tale.’] These are the witnesses of the bequest: King Edward and the Lady Ælfgifu and Archbishop Eadsige [A2 adds ‘and Archbishop Ælfric [of York]’] and Earl Godwine and Earl Leofric [A2 adds ‘and Ælfgar the earl’s son’] and Bishop Ælfweard of London and Bishop Ælfwine of Winchester and Stigand, priest, and Eadwold, priest, and Leofcild, sheriff, and Osulf Fila and Ufic and Ælfwine Wulfred’s son and Ælfric Wihtgar’s son and all the thegns in Essex. And their men are to be free after the day of them both. And no-one is to meddle after their day in that estate except the community at Christ Church. Let them inherit as they know they are entitled. There are three of these documents: one is at Christ Church, the second at St Augustine’s and the third is with themselves [i.e., the testators].
