Spalding Priory was a small Benedictine house in the town of Spalding, Lincolnshire. It was founded as a cell of Croyland Abbey, in 1052, by Leofric, Earl of Mercia and his wife, Godiva, Countess of Leicester. It was supported by Leofric's eldest son. Ælfgār, Earl of Mercia and the monks were confirmed in their property in 1074, after the Norman Conquest of England. Until 1220, Alkborough Priory was a dependency of Spalding. After 1071 one monk only remained in Spalding, so the house was refounded in 1074 as a cell of St. Nicholas's Abbey, Angers. The monks secured their independence from Angers in 1397, and remained so until 1540 when the house was surrendered at the dissolution. Six Human skeletons found during building work in Bridge Street are presumed to indicate the site of the Priory burial ground.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-02-21 )〕 ==Priors== Its priors included〔 * Simon 1229 - 1252 * James 1252 - 1253 * John 1253 - 1274 * At some time before 1278, there was a Wazinus. * William of Littleport 1278 - 1293 * Clement 1293 - 1318 * Walter de Halton 1318 - 1322 though he is reported as holding the post for 14 years. * (Thomas de Nassington ) 1322 - 1353 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「Spalding Priory」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
