THE HEADS OF RELIGIOUS HOUSES
ENGLAND AND WALES
1377–1540
This final volume of The Heads of Religious Houses: England and Wales takes thelists of monastic superiors from 1377 to the dissolution of the monastic housesending in 1540 and so concludes a reference work covering 600 years of monastichistory. In addition to surviving monastic archives, record sources have also beenprovided by episcopal and papal registers, governmental archives, court records,and private, family and estate collections. Full references are given for establishingthe dates and outline of the career of each abbot or prior, abbess or prioress, whenknown. The lists are arranged by order: the Benedictine houses (independent;dependencies; and alien priories); the Cluniacs; the Grandmontines; theCistercians; the Carthusians; the Augustinian canons; the Premonstratensians; theGilbertine order; the Trinitarian houses; the Bonhommes; and the nuns. An intro-duction discusses the use and history of the lists and examines critically the sourceson which they are based.

PREFACE
It is with a great sense of satisfaction (and relief) that I write this preface to thefinal volume of this project. When I joined the project in 1985 and began workon the manuscript sources for the second volume (1216–1377) I kept notes ofmaterial I found of relevance to a future third volume, hoping if time andopportunity allowed to continue the work until the Henrician dissolution. Thesecond volume, compiled in collaboration with Miss Vera London, was finallypublished in 2001 and it was a great joy to myself and Professor ChristopherBrooke that it came out while Vera London was still alive. I remember well thecelebratory lunch we had with Vera in Church Stretton and her obvious delightin seeing the volume’s appearance, just a few months before her own death in2002 in her ninety-ninth year. Not being so sanguine about my own longevityI decided to continue immediately with the third volume and have devoted theyears from 2001 to what I might term the ‘chronological’ sources. As I havementioned, in my research work for the second volume I had collected any laterreferences in ‘non-chronological’ collections, that is to say, unique collectionswhich had a wide date span, such as landed family archives including formermonastic material, the ancient deeds series in the National Archives, andAdditional and other charter collections in the British Library. The ‘chrono-logical’ sources, notably bishops’ registers, monastic records, governmentenrolments and legal records of the late fourteenth to early sixteenth centuries,have occupied my time since 2001, considerably aided by early retirement fromthe University of York and a research grant from the British Academy. I men-tioned in the preface to the second volume that it is the nature of such fasti liststhat they can never attain to anything approaching completeness. All one cando is, hopefully, to improve on what has gone before and to further our knowl-edge by a more wide-ranging search of the available sources.
In all of this time Professor Christopher Brooke has been a constant sourceof support and encouragement, particularly at times when the task seemednever-ending and in his busy life he has still found the time to read through thewhole draft text and provide welcome comments and suggestions.
Many others have given generous help and particular attention must bedrawn to the great help received from the following (in alphabetical sequence):Miss Cressida Annesley, Miss Melanie Barber, Professor Caroline Barron, DrNicholas Bennett, Mr Nicholas Bird, Ms Ann Bowtell, Dr Paul Brand,Professor Gerald Bray, Dr Claire Breay, Professor Janet Burton, Mrs ChristineButterill, Dr Peter Clarke, Dr David Crook, Dr Robin Darwall-Smith,
