+ Here it is declared in this document that Godwine grants to Leofwine the Red the swine-pasture at Surrenden as a perpetual inheritance, to hold during his lifetime and to grant at his death to whomsoever he pleases, at the price which Leofsunu had to pay him, namely two pounds and forty pence and eight ambers of corn. Now Leofwine grants the pasture to whoever acquires possession of Boughton after his death. The witnesses of this are Bishop Lyfing and Abbot Ælfmær and the community at Christchurch and the community at St Augustine's and Sired and Ælfsige cild and Æthelric and many another good man within the city and outside it.
