Back to Easter Saturday and the sponsored walk and cycle ride. It was a beautiful warm sunny day with about 40 people walking and cycling. The cyclists went round Rutland Water with or without the peninsular and the walkers walked round the peninsular. The best part of the walk was the bluebell woods and at one place a whole field full of them. After we had finished the walk we met the cyclists at the Pub at Manton which was packed inside and out with everyone enjoying the lovely weather.

According to a narrative concerning the early years of Holy Trinity priory in Aldgate, London, known only from fifteenth-century manuscripts, Bernard prior of Dunstaple, John prior of Launde (Landa), Geoffrey de Clinton, the (king’s) chamberlain (Gaufridus camerarius de Clinton), and others named, witnessed the gift of the Cnihtengild in London to Holy Trinity in that year. It is unsurprising that the priors of two recently founded Augustinian houses should witness a gift to Holy Trinity, thought to be the first Augustinian house in England. Their names were presumably taken from a contemporary deed or other record which has not been preserved (Hodgett, Cartulary of Holy Trinity, 168, no. 871; R. R. Sharpe, Calendar of Letter Books, C, 220). The king’s confirmation of the gift, 000, Regesta 1467, also witnessed by Geoffrey de Clinton, is apparently authentic and datable 1123 × 1127, so the narrative’s date of 1125 may well be accurate. Launde priory was founded at Loddington, ‘in cuius territorio abbatia fundata est’, according to Henry II’s general confirmation of 1155 × 1158 (H2/1456).
