St Margaret’s Chelmsford
St Margaret’s is a Grade II listed building in
Margaretting, Essex in the district of Chelmsford. It was almost completely
rebuilt in the early-mid C15th.
Turvey Church
Turvey is now in Bedfordshire. Turvey's Parish
Church is called All Saints and has Saxon origins. It is the largest church in
the deanery of Sharnbrook and was in the Diocese of Lincoln until it was
transferred to the Diocese of Ely in 1837.
St Neots Priory
St Neots Priory replaced a small Anglo-Saxon
monastery at Eynesbury in which were housed the bones of Saint Neot, a revered
Cornish monk who died around 877. The Priory Centre is located alongside the
attractive riverbank of the Great Ouse in the heart of St. Neots town.
St Neots Priory was a Benedictine monastery beside
the town of St Neots in the historic county of Huntingdonshire, now a
non-metropolitan district in the English county of Cambridgeshire. A monastery
was first founded here in about 974 by Earl Aelric (or Leofric) and his wife
Aelfleda (or Ethelfleda), who granted it two hides of land, part of the manor
of Eynesbury, later called the manor of St Neots. Its site is uncertain, though
it may have been where the present parish church stands. It is said that the relics
of the Cornish Saint Neot were obtained from Neotstoke (now St Neot) in
Cornwall and brought to the priory in order that it might have relics to
attract pilgrims; hence the name of the town.
Because it was an alien priory (i.e., the dependency
of a French mother-house) it suffered difficulties whenever there were
hostilities between France and England, and particularly during the Hundred
Years' War. Its property was continually seized for this reason, until like
certain other alien priories it was eventually given its independence from Bec
in 1409 by the quasi-naturalisation process known as denization.
The priory was finally seized during the Dissolution
of the Monasteries in 1539. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the
buildings were pulled down.
The prior of St Neots in 1349 was William de
Beaumont (he was elected that year).
