 The Waverley Annals made use of a manuscript that was similar to [ E ] , though it appears that it did not contain the entries focused on Peterborough . The manuscript of the chronicle translated by Geoffrey Gaimar cannot be identified accurately , though according to historian Dorothy Whitelock it was " a rather better text than ' E ' or ' F ' " . Gaimar implies that there was a copy at Winchester in his day ( the middle of the 12th century ) ; Whitelock suggests that there is evidence that a manuscript that has not survived to the present day was at Winchester in the mid @-@ tenth century . If it survived to Gaimar 's time that would explain why [ A ] was not kept up to date , and why [ A ] could be given to the monastery at Canterbury .
