Notes
Context: description of the metes and bounds of the manor of Great Wyrley- circuit starts at the furthest part of the farm/estate ('fundi') called Campions Wood, extending from there to Barkenhurst and through part of the farm/estate ('fundi') called Almoore and from there to the bank ('ripam') calld 'a Scinder bancke' in a wood called Esington wood, and thus to a lane ('venella') leading towards Stafford called Staff' Lane and from there to the further limits ('inferiors limites') of Esington Wood following a watercourse as far as a meadow called Abley Meadowe and then from the meadow to a brook ('rivulus') called Norton brooke and from there to a river ('amnis') or watercourse to a bridge called Church bridge and there through the middle of the same brook called Church brooke to common land ('coia') called Chustlane Hay excluding that common land and thus to a meadow called le Moore End and along the border ('per finem anglice the border') of the same common land called Chustlane Hay to the aforesaid wood ('silvam') called Campions Wood
Note: when this place name is mentioned at the end of the circuit, it is described as a 'wood' rather than as a farm/estate.
