This list is among Sir Mark Pleydell's papers on Shrivenham deposited in the Berkshire Records Office Ref DEX 52M1 19A. Copy made in 1978 by E Jeacock who commented: "Though a precise definition cannot, at present, be found, it appears to be a local toll of some kind.  It has been suggested that perhaps love silver is a corruption of lepselver which was a toll for driving cattle over greens."

Ref SHR1 336.2 - Letter regarding interpretation of said item.

There is also a letter from the County Archivist at Berkshire Record Office, concerning the name Jenner and Love Silver and Wool Silver.
