The Priory of St. Leonard of Stanley, Gloucestershire: a continuation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 January 2012
Extract
It is now seven years since my paper on this subject appeared in Archaeologia. I now have to add an account of certain discoveries which excavation and the stripping of modern plaster from the walls of the transepts have disclosed, together with some notes on the tower and the bells. I have already shown in Archaeologia that Roger de Berkeley, the second of that name and of the more ancient stock, had founded this priory for Austin canons in or about the year 1125, and how and why in 1146 his son and successor Roger had granted it to the Benedictine monks of Gloucester, so that from that date it ranked merely as a Benedictine cell.
