^{page 301 note 1} In 1900 the charter was among the Aston deeds in the possession of the Abel Smith family of Watton-at-Stone, Herts. (Trans. East Herts. Arch. Soc., i. 129Google Scholar). It remained so until at least 1930, but by 1932 had passed to the Malcolmson family, who had acquired the Aston estate (Antiquaries Journ., xiv. 7). Although the Abel Smith and Malcolmson deeds were deposited in the Hertford Record Office after the Second World War, the present charter was retained by the Malcolmson family. I am greatly indebted to the kindness of Mr. I. C. Malcolmson for permission to inspect the charter.Google Scholar
