Charters of Barking Abbey and Waltham Holy Cross (Anglo-saxon Charters)

Barking is the only English nunnery with a history stretching from the seventh century to the time of Henry VIII. A new cache of Anglo-Saxon charters from Barking is edited here for the first time, with other early documents and a historical introduction. The volume also includes the charter of Edward the Confessor for Waltham Abbey.
