  • Document Description

    Record title: Southwick Priory Bailiff's Accounts
    Repository: HRO
    Shelfmark: 5M50/45
    Repository location: Winchester

    Henry I founded a priory of Augustinian canons at Porchester in 1133, but within the next two decades the priory moved two miles north over Portsdown Hill to Southwick (VCH: Hampshire, vol 3, pp 161–5, British History Online, http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/hants/vol3/pp161-165, accessed 20 May 2018). The Valor Ecclesiasticus put Southwick's annual value at £257 4s 4d – a large amount for a relatively isolated house, because pilgrims left offerings to Our Lady of Southwick (VCH: Hampshire, vol 2, pp 164–8, British History Online, https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/hants/vol2/pp164-168, accessed 20 May 2018).

    29 September 1392–28 September 1393; Latin; parchment; 4 membranes, joined serially; 603–738mm x 250mm; unnumbered; written both sides with a good deal of fading due to damp, fairly heavily repaired, though little text actually missing.
