A vV.EA LDEN CHARTER Ol!, A.D. 814.
(Harleiau Charter 83 A. I.)
BY H. S. COWPER, F.S.A.
Tac: Chader, which is the subject of this Paper, contains
the names of a number of places in the Weald of Kent early
in the ninth century; and since this district is nearly
unnoticed eve11 in the Domesday Survey, this early list is of
great interest.
The Charter runs as follows :-
