Haliwell or Holywell Priory (various spellings) was a religious house in Shoreditch, formerly in the historic county of Middlesex and now in the London Borough of Hackney. The ''Victoria County History'' for Middlesex describes it as the Priory of St John the Baptist at Haliwell, a house of Augustinian canonesses. Also known as Halliwell, or Halywell, it was refounded by Sir Thomas Lovell in the sixteenth century, who was buried there. It stood at Holywell Lane on the west side of Shoreditch towards Hoxton and was sometimes said to be a Benedictine foundation and attributed to a Bishop of London. It was, however, established by Robert Fitz Generan in the twelfth century.〔 The details for Holywell Priory in the dissolution of the monasteries are not well documented but by 1539 its possessions were sequestered and the prioress had been removed.〔 == See also == * St John the Baptist, Hoxton 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holywell Priory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
