    • These are the bounds of the five hides in the vill of Norton. First from the place which is called fowl pond straight along the street to narrow way. And from that way to Wealdhere’s spring, and from that spring straight along the stream to the boundary field, to the south (?) edge of lesser valley, and from that edge to the narrow way. And thus straight along the way to the long furlong, and thus southward along the headland to the elder-tree stump or pollard, and from that to the burh way. And thus from the way to pigeon thorn-tree, and from that thorn-tree by the mead to king’s way. And from that way straight to ludec stone, and thus westwards straight along the way to Maidford. And from that to Bada’s mead, and from that mead to mud slade, and thus straight along the valley to the ditch [or ‘dyke’]. And along the ditch [or ‘dyke’] straight to the thorn-tree which stands on iron down, and from that thorn-tree by the enclosure belonging to the hide. And thus from [or ‘along’] the furrow straight to pirdes spring or stream, and thus straight through the valley to the starting-point, that is, fowl pond.
