page 59 note 1. The rubric of B names the water-course as le Garenters broke, i.e., Granger's or Granator's Brook, but, since the entry was made in a 15th-century hand, it is uncertain whether this was its name in the 13th century. It occurs as Graneterisbrok’ in a Reading deed of 1444 (Df67v) and was an alternative name for Holy Brook, flowing into the Kennet in Reading by the abbey (Berks. Place-Names, i. 11)Google Scholar
