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

PREFACE
It is with a great sense of satisfaction (and relief) that I write this preface to the final volume of this project. When I joined the project in 1985 and began work on the manuscript sources for the second volume (1216–1377) I kept notes of material I found of relevance to a future third volume, hoping if time and opportunity allowed to continue the work until the Henrician dissolution. The second volume, compiled in collaboration with Miss Vera London, was finally published in 2001 and it was a great joy to myself and Professor Christopher Brooke that it came out while Vera London was still alive. I remember well the celebratory lunch we had with Vera in Church Stretton and her obvious delight in seeing the volume’s appearance, just a few months before her own death in 2002 in her ninety-ninth year. Not being so sanguine about my own longevity I decided to continue immediately with the third volume and have devoted the years from 2001 to what I might term the ‘chronological’ sources. As I have mentioned, in my research work for the second volume I had collected any later references in ‘non-chronological’ collections, that is to say, unique collections which had a wide date span, such as landed family archives including former monastic material, the ancient deeds series in the National Archives, and Additional and other charter collections in the British Library. The ‘chrono- logical’ sources, notably bishops’ registers, monastic records, government enrolments and legal records of the late fourteenth to early sixteenth centuries, have occupied my time since 2001, considerably aided by early retirement from the 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 lists that they can never attain to anything approaching completeness. All one can do 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 source of support and encouragement, particularly at times when the task seemed never-ending and in his busy life he has still found the time to read through the whole draft text and provide welcome comments and suggestions. Many others have given generous help and particular attention must be drawn to the great help received from the following (in alphabetical sequence): Miss Cressida Annesley, Miss Melanie Barber, Professor Caroline Barron, Dr Nicholas Bennett, Mr Nicholas Bird, Ms Ann Bowtell, Dr Paul Brand, Professor Gerald Bray, Dr Claire Breay, Professor Janet Burton, Mrs Christine Butterill, Dr Peter Clarke, Dr David Crook, Dr Robin Darwall-Smith,
