unusual facts about Canonical Visitation



Caldwell Priory

It was by the advice of the prior of Dunstable, amongst others, that Prior Eudo of Caldwell resigned and fled to the Cistercians of Merivale, before the visitation of Bishop GrossetĂȘte; and the sub-prior of Dunstable took his place.

Newnham Priory

In GrossetĂȘte's unsparing visitations of 1235 and 1249 no charge was laid against this house; and no other visitation is recorded until that of Bishop Burghersh some time before 1322.
