thence from wigewen' brook forth 
by Leofwin’s boundary to the 
Avon; forth by the Avon till 
you come to Freshford the boun- 
dary of the Abbot in Mitford ; 
from the ford you go by the Ab- 
bot’s boundary ; then back to the 
Avon; so on there by the Avon 
till you come to the Abbot’s 
boundary at Warleigh; so by the 
Abbot’s boundary to Ailfgar’s 
boundary at Furleigh ; forth by his 
boundary till you come to the 
King’s boundary at Haselbury ;? 
forth by the King’s boundary till 
you come to A‘lfgar’s boundary 
at Atworth ; forth by his boundary 
till you come to Leofwin’s land- 
mark at Corsham; from that boun- 
ealled Wiltshire Park, is part of it, and a lane there is still called Rowley lane. 
Withenham was probably on the Winfield side of the lane, as in Domesday Book 
it is mentioned next to Wine-fel and was held by the same person. 
It most 
likely spread over that portion of ground which lies between the cross in the lanes, 
already alluded to, and Stowford. 
1 Wigewen brook. ‘There is no name at all like this, (the literal meaning of 
which is ‘war-chariot,’) given to any brook in the direction indicated, at the 
present time. Andrews and Dury designate a portion of the stream ‘ [ford 
Brook.’ The present boundary line of the parish of Westwood leaves the river 
at Iford (which is partly in Westwood and partly in Freshford parish) and 
bearing first of all to the west and then to the north-east, reaches the Avon 
very near to the point where the river Frome empties itself into it. In a 
charter of Ethelred (4.p, 987,) printed in Kemble’s Cod. Dipl. iii. 229, we find 
_ Iford spelt Ig-ford, thatris, ‘island ford, from which we may infer that there 
was, no doubt, a brook or rivulet formerly, though we have lost the trace of it. 
* Haselbury. This is now the name of a Farm-house, with spacious premises, 
the remains of its former importance, in the parish of Box. John Leland was 
entertained there by John Bonham in 1541. Formerly there was a Church at 
Haselbury, though all traces of it have now been lost. The estate belongs to 
the Northey family. [See vol. i. p. 144, of this Magazine.] The name of King’s 
Down, which is in the immediate vicinity of Haselbury, preserves the memorial 
of the fact recited in the charter that the Crown formerly had possessions there.
