Winnold House, formerly the Benedictine Priory of St. Winwaloe, is a country house near Wereham in Norfolk, England. The house is constructed from the remaining fragments of a former Benedictine priory. The priory was founded in 1199 and was dissolved in 1321. It was demolished in 1539, and the serviving fragments where incorporated into a house sometime in the 17th century, and was later rebuilt in the mid-19th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title = Winnold House, Wereham )〕 == History == The priory of Wereham was founded by the earls of Clare during the rain of Richard I in the late twelfth century. It was dedicated to Saint Winwaloe (a.k.a. Saint Guenolo), a British saint who flourished about 550 CE. in the sixth century, and whose body was enshrined in the abbey of Monsterol in the diocese of Amiens in France, where he lived. The earliest extant deed of the priory is one of 1199, whereby L., prior of Saint Winwaloe, with the consent and advice of his brother, Remigius, abbot of Monsterol, granted a toft and eleven acres to Robert de Stradesete. In 1270 there was an exchange of lands in Wereham between the abbot and convent of Wereham and the abbot and convent of Saint Salvin's of Monsterol, acting on behalf of the priory of Saint Winwaloe. At the time, the priory held lands in three Norfolk parishes, with the annual value of £7.〔1291 taxation documents.〕 In 1321, the abbot and convent of Monsterol sold the priory to Hugh Scarlet of Lincoln, who conveyed it to Elizabeth de Clare, the foundress of Clare College in Cambridge. In 1336 she conveyed the manor and lands of the priory to the abbot and convent of Dereham on the condition that he would find a chaplain to say daily mass in the chapel of Saint Winwaloe for the souls of Gilbert, earl of Clare, and of Elizabeth and her ancestors and heirs forever. Ten years later Elizabeth granted the custody of the priory to her well-beloved friend, John de Brauncestre. At the dissolution the manor of Winwaloe, late belonging to the abbey of Wereham, came to the crown, and was granted in the first instance to Thomas Guybon and William Mynn. 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「Winnold House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
