Description

This volume summarizes in English the Cartulary of Canonsleigh Abbey, which preserves the land records and endowments of this medieval religious house.

The Cartulary of Canonsleigh Abbey, on the Devon-Somerset border, preserves the land records of this medieval religious house. Founded for Augustinian canons in the twelfth century, it was refounded for canonesses in 1284 and continued until the Reformation. The documents, dating from the twelfth to fourteenth centuries, are summarized in English and allow us to trace the history of the house and its patrons, and its relations with the surrounding area.
