Description of the ancient boundaries of the city of Oxford, written in French. Temp. Hen. VI, viz : "These are the boundaries and extent of the liberty of the town of Oxford, commencing at the pile bridge (pount tretable, draw bridge) above Petypount, and following by the course of the river Charwell as far as to a ditch called 'Creddelak,' otherwise ' Mountagueslake,' running between the meadow of St. Frideswide, which meadow is within the said liberty, and the meadow called Mountaguesmede, which ditch separates the counties of Oxford and Berks, and the said ditch runs as far as the Thames at 'Grauntpount,' running under an arch called 'Dencheworthesabowe,' and thus along the Thames, between the friars preachers who are within the said town, and a meadow called 'Erlicheseyt' and the meadow of the abbey of Abingdon, which meadows are without the said liberty, and the meadow called Kingesmede which is within the said liberty, and thus as far as to the ferry to Henxseie, and from thence as far as to a ditch called 'Soundreseyes lake,' and beyond as far as to the mills of Botele, and from thence as far as to 'Wowelake' and from thence and from the isles of Wyke, Bunsey, Midley, Cropley, and Portmanseyt, which isles are all within the said liberty, and thus as far as to the bridge of Godstowe. And the said liberty descends from the said bridge to Wolgarcote, and from thence as far as to a ditch called la Grenediche, and beyond this to Charewell, which runs from Halywell and the hospital of St. John, as far as to the said pile bridge above Petypount, the which Halywell and hospital are within the said liberty." .
