prose

Anglo-Saxon charter in Latin, with English bounds, according to which King Æthelstan (r. 924-939) granted some land to the church of St Buryan, Cornwall. In its received form the document is not authentic, but a genuine basis has been suggested for several of its features (Olson). The date given is 6 October, 943 (sic), and the meeting is said to have taken place at Kingston-on-Thames (Kyngeston), Surrey.

Charter relating to a grant of land at Lanlowren (probably Lanlawren in Lanteglos, Cornwall), from one Maenchi son of Pretnigor, comes, to [the community of] St Heldenus, with a confirmation by King Æthelstan (r. 924-939). The record is attested as a copy in an 15th-century cartulary of Athelney abbey. O. Padel suggests that Heldenus, previously interpreted as St Æthelwin, probably represents the local Cornish saint St Hyldren.
