Documents preserved at Gloucester Cathedral state that Chertsey Abbey misappropriated, and was later compelled to yield up, a church at Cardigan which had been granted to Gloucester by Gilbert de Clare (d. 1114) previous to the establishment of the priory.

Around 1164, Rhys ap Gruffydd, Prince of South Wales, conquered Cardigan, and brought it again under Welsh rule, and by a grant confirmed the gift of the then existing priory cell of Cardigan to the Benedictine Black Monks of Chertsey Abbey, at which time the Gloucester monks were sent away.
