1335
John
Farndale might have been born in about 1335. He might have been the son of John
Farndale (FAR00035A).
1390
On 15
December 1390 at Westminster a Commission was granted to Robert Burgilon, John Farndale, William Palmer and Sheriff of Salop to enquire
touching dilapidations and waste in alien Priory of Abberbury,
otherwise called New Abbey (Nova Abbia) by Abberbury
by Geoffrey Stafford, Canon of Rounton, late farmer
thereof.’
Alberbury Priory, west of Shrewsbury, was a medieval monastic
house in Shropshire, established about 1230. It was one of three houses in
England belonging to the French Grandmontine Order.
The monastery was small, with only 7 monks under a prior in occupancy in 1344,
possibly supported by 'lay brothers' who did manual work. In 1359, the then
prior of Alberbury was deposed for alleged violence,
murder, and dissipation of the priory's goods. In 1364, one of his successors
was outlawed for alleged murder and fled the house.
Salop is a reference to Shropshire.
So John Farndale formed part of an investigation into
dilapidations in an abbey in far away Shropshire.
1400
John might have lived to about 1400.
