Notes

• a 1.1

  This Nunnery is omitted by Mr. Speed, and the Charters belonging to El••stow or Hell••••stow in B••dfordshire, are (Mon. Angl. T. 1. 359.) erroneously ascribed to this in Berkshire. Whereabout this Monastery was situated I was wholly ignorant, (seeing there is no Village of this name at present in this County) 'till informed by Leland

  That there was a Nun∣nery in the time of K. Ina at Abendon in the place where S. Hellen's Church now stands.
• b 1.2

  Leland tells us,

  That the old Nunnery was where the Parish Church of St. Mary now is.

  Most of our Historians record the building of Wherwell and Ambresb••ry by this Queen Alfrith, wife to King Edgar; but I could never find any hint of her Founding of this Nunnery at Reading, so that I am afraid Mr. Speed is under a mistake.
