(ix) INTRODUCTION

This volume brings to an end the publication of the Missenden Cartu- lary (Had. MS. 3688) ; the first instalment appeared in 1939 and the second in 1955 . Despite the understandable tendency in recent years to print only abstracts of such records, it has seemed best to present the charters in full, with the exception of the warranty clause, and thus preserve the pattern followed in the two previous volumes. The provenance and state of the Cartulary have been described in the introduction to Part I as has the Browne Willis transcript of another cartulary, unfortunately lost, relating to the Abbey. A statement then made thatnone of the original charters has survived requires some slight modification as a few, relating chiefly to Broughton, have come to light in the Hampton collection preserved in the Birmingham Reference Library (see nos. 557, 559, 561, 562, 57 I, 574, 575, 579, 856 ). Comparison of these with the versions of Robert of Wells indi- cates that he was by no means an impeccable copyist and in particular he seems to ha,¢e had an unfortunate habit of taking liberties with place-names. The contents of this last section of the Cartulary are more varied than those of the earlier volumes. Of the 38o numbered items, about 6o are not classifiable as Charters; of these 36 are final concords (nos. 794, 846-9, 857-63, 867-88, 9 °2, 9o3) many of which are not in- eluded in the volume of Feet of Fines (Records Branch, vol. 4) , 12 are Papal Bulls (nos. 89o-9oi), the earliest issued in 1137 and the latest at the end of the I3th century, while the remainder record legal actions in which the Abbey was concerned, such as disseisins (nos. 843-5) , livery of seisin (no. 852), and licences under the Statute of Mortmain (nos. 853, 855 ). Moreover, the subject-matter of this section is no longer confined to grants in Buckinghamshire as the two preceding volumes predominantly were but covers a wide field in- eluding London, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Middlesex, Bedford- shire, Suffolk, and Huntingdonshire. The royal and episcopal charters and letters which are inserted at the end of the Cartulary have already been printed in the first volume (nos. 1-29). The chief modern account is to be found in V.C.H. Buckinghamshire, i, pp. 369-76 (I9o5) by Sister Elspeth of the Community of All Saints, who made good use of the material contained in the Lincoln episcopal registers. Mention should also be made ofR. H. Beevers, Missenden Abbey (I956), a brief review which concentrates more on the post-Dissolution history of the former Abbey~

xi xil THE MISSENDEN CARTULARY (a) History of the Abbey

According to the foundation charter (no. 3o) the Abbey was founded by William de Missenden in I I33. The founder is a somewhat shadowy figure. Although he was clearly a considerable holder of land in the Great Missenden area neither his family nor his land is identifiable in the Domesday Survey compiled only fifty years previously. He was probably the lord of Peterley manor in Missenden which is not listed in the Survey. His son Hugh, who assumed the name of de Noers, z made a grant of land in Peterley to the Abbey, which by the end of the 13th century was in possession of Peterley manor (no. 58). The Abbey belonged to the Arrouasian Order of Augustinian canons,8 as did Notley (or Nutley) Abbey founded by Waiter Giffard at about the same time as Missenden. The latter, as William de Missenden's overlord, confirmed the initial grants to the Abbey (no. 39) and it was probably owing to his influence that the new house so quickly won royal favour, for it was in the year of its foundation that Henry I took it under his protection and tutelage (no. 7). Stephen, too, issued confirmatory charters and himself bestowed on the Abbey his mill at Headington (nos. I--5) , while Henry II and even John issued writs conferring legal protection on the Abbey (nos. 6, 8-I I, i3, i5). The original endowment of the Abbey can only be described as modest, consisting apparently of the church of Great Missenden, the site of the Abbey, and land in the immediate vicinity, but by the end of the century its benefactions had grown to sub- !! stantial proportions, as shown by the confirmatory Bulls of Pope Eusebius in 1I45 (no. 894 ) and Pope Alexander III ofi i8i (no. 893). The latter mentions a number of churches which had been given to i:5 I the Abbey, namely the church of St. Peter at Great Missenden, Great Kimble, Shiplake (co. Oxon.), Swinford (probably co. Berks.), East Portlemouth (co. Devon), Radenhale, and Weston Turville, together with the chapels of Broughton and The Lee. It seems clear that it was only in the case of the first three churches and the chapel of The Lee that the Abbey was able to establish and maintain its rights. There is no record in the Cartulary of a grant of the church of Swin- ford. With regard to East Portlemouth the tenure by the Abbey of the advowson did not endure for more than forty years for in I2I 9 it was surrendered (no. 857). Radenhale is not mentioned elsewhere and is probably identifiable with Redenhall, co. Norfolk, but its

2. The reason for the assumption of the name is not known. Dr. Fowler suggests that it may have been that of his mother 'perhaps a daughter of the Domesday house of Nowers of Gayhurst' (B. ~ B.P.R. 179). 3. For an account of the Order, see G. H.

church does not appear to have had any connexion with the Abbey. Similarly there is no evidence that Weston Turville church belonged to the Abbey, though at the time of Pope Alexander's Bull the canons clearly thought that they had a claim to it. Two years later the Abbey came to an agreement with the Turville family (no. 245) whereby they surrendered their supposed rights to Weston Turville church in return for an annual payment of£3 out of the revenues of Taplow church. ~ Further, the extensive grants of land in Broughton to the Abbey make no mention of its chapel. Why were such churches included in the Papal Bull? No definite answer is possible but it may be that the Abbey considered itself to have some kind of claim to them which it tried to strengthen by securing papal support, It is to be noted that neither the church of Gaversfield (no. 623) nor the chapel at Muswell (nos. 634, 638 ) are mentioned in the Bull of I I8I, though both had by then been in the possession of the Abbey for a considerable time. The only other churches acquired in the I ~th century were those of Glatton in Huntingdonshire (no. 82o) and Chalfont St. Peter. 5 With regard to temporal possessions the Abbey during the first sixty years or so &its existence attracted a number of benefactors many of them belonging to well-known feudal famil{es, such as Dammartin, Boulogne, Bolbec, Brito, Foug6res, Giffard, and by the end of the twelfth century its endowments included lands and rents not only in Buckinghamshire but also in Oxfordshire, Hampshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Hertfordshire, Middlesex, and London. During the first half of the thirteenth century the territorial interests of the Abbey, on the evidence afforded by the Cartulary, expanded greatly but thereafter grants of land diminish progressively. The only church bestowed on the Abbey in this century was that of Aldbury, co. Herts. (no. 797).8 In I225 the Abbey tried unsuccessfully in opposition to Hubert de Burgh to obtain the advowson of Oulton church (co. Norfolk) which the abbot claimed as having been given to him by Waiter son of William de PennaY Indeed, from a temporal point of view the first half of the thirteenth century probably represents the era of its greatest prosperity and renown. Henry III, who was a frequent visitor, ~ took a practical interest in the building (or re-building) of the Abbey church by

In 1227 the Abbey was involved in a dispute about the advowson (Curia Regis Rolls, xiii, no. 2o4), but nevertheless appears to have retained it until the Dissolution ( V.C.H. Hefts. ii, x48 ). 7.

presenting the canons in I254 with six oaks from the royal forest of Brill. g Seven years earlier he had given them timber out of Brill forest for the building of their guest house. 10 He also granted them 5os. annually out of the farm of the county for the purpose of main- raining a chaplain in the Abbey to say masses for the soul of Hugh de S anford (no. 12)11 and in 1227 William de Fienes was peremptorily ordered to stop molesting the abbot in respect of the latter's free tenement in Wendover (no. i6). These evidences of royal favour apart, a cursory inspection of the Cartulary will show how sub- stantial were the accretions of land and rents during this period and this expansion of territorial interests must have produced problems of management with which the canons were probably unable to cope. Business capacity rather than a reputation for holiness was to be looked for in the head of the house if solvency and good order were to be maintained. As the century advanced evidence accumulates to show that the temporal affairs of the Abbey progressively declined and that some of the abbots were lacking in administrative capability. The reasons for the removal of Abbot Martin in i236m by Bishop Grossetete are unknown, but it is significant that four years later the same bishop found it expedient to communicate to the canons what, in his view, were the qualities to be sought in a good abbot, l~ and from the terms of his admonition it seems clear that the convent had not always been wise in their choice of a ruler. In the course of the century three other abbots resigned their office (Robert, i24o , Simon de London, i262, and Geoffrey de Whelpley, I268) but there is no direct evidence that their resignations were the result of incapacity. It is clear, however, that towards the end of the thirteenth century the Abbey got into financial difficulties. In I274 it was indebted to Bartholomew de Castello for £I5I and to the same !i creditor in the following year for 2oo marks. 14 Again in I278 debts of 9 marks to William de Luton and of I oo marks to Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, were acknowledged, as was another debt of £i 2 ten years later to Roger and Richard Bruning. 15 It must be said, however, that over the same period the Close Rolls record two amounts totalling 2oo marks as due to the abbot. 16 Whatever the exact nature of these ! transactions may have been, the affairs of the house deteriorated to

THE MISSENDEN OARTULARY XV such an extent that in November I28I the king appointed two lay- men, Henry Huse and Walter de Agmodesham, to take the Abbey under royal protection for a period of four years. 17 It was the poverty of the house that dictated this drastic step; it was alleged that owing to murrain of their sheep and horses and other causes the Abbey lands for the most part lay uncultivated and the grain wasted; many debts to merchants and others could not be paid without dispersion of the canons or the dilapidation of their fees or the total overthrow of the house. At the end of this period the Abbey was apparently still unable to manage its own affairs for in 1282 one of the royal clerks, William de Luda, was appointed custodian and charged with applying the revenues to its relief, is How long this custodianship lasted is not known. The difficulties of the house may weli have been aggravated by the absences of its head overseas. In 127 o, 1282, and 1286 the abbot went abroad in each case for a period ofthreeyearsA9 Whatever may have been the purpose of these excursions, they must have constituted a heavy charge on the resources of the Abbey which, as events showed, they were ill-fitted to bear. Despite these difficulties the reputation of the Abbey remained high not only locally as witnessed by the numerous benefactions re- corded in the Cartulary but also with the king and at least some members of the nobility. The personal interest exhibited by Henry III has already been touched upon. After his death in 1272 his widow Queen Eleanor also showed herself favourably disposed towards the Abbey and on one occasion, in 1275 , interceded on its behalf to secure part remission of a heavy fine it had incurred in an action for disseisin before the royal justices. ~e Edward I, besides taking steps to set the Abbey on its feet financially (see above), also conferred on it the right of free warren on many of its demesne estates (no. 17). An indication of the repute of Missenden, slight but significant, is to be seen in the disposition by Isabella, Countess of Gloucester, in 1239 that part of her mortal remains should be buried in the abbey church, the remainder of this somewhat macabre dissection being shared by Beaulieu and Tewkesbury Abbeys. 21 More important in this context is that the abbot of Missenden received a summons to attend Simon de Montfort's famous Parliament of 1265 ..2 It is true that the abbot was only one of fifty-five abbatial representatives from the province of Canterbury but even so the summons indicated that the Abbey was regarded as belonging to the more important houses. x 7.

It is Probable that the action taken in the later years of the previous century had achieved solvency, at least for a time. A more satisfactory state of affairs may have induced the king to request the Abbey to accept as pensioners royal servants who were unfit for further work on account of age or infirmity, or simply as a reward for good service. This happened in I3O3, I317, I324, and I335 .23 As the century progressed financial difficulties seem to have again supervened. In i344 Abbot Henry owed Nicholas Sperlyng £ioo 2~ and thirty years later the amount due to various creditors reached the large sum of £6oo. 25 It is not surprising that additional sources of income were sought. Benefactions of land and rents had long ceased to be made and in any case such gifts, which brought in their train awkward problems of agricultural administration, would not have been altogether welcome had they been forthcoming. The appropriation of churches was an easier and much more lucrative proposition. The history of the church of Glatton illustrates this. Originally, in the late twelfth century, the Abbey obtained Glatton church from the Abbey of Doudeauville near Boulogne (no. 82o)on payment :of an annual rent of£4. Subsequently, in the mid, I3th century the church seems to have reverted to the French abbey leaving Missenden with the advowson, but the transactions re- corded in nos. 822-826 do not reveal clearly the sequence of events. By the middle of the fourteenth century, however, Edward III was at war with France and Glatton was enemy property, a fact which no :i! doubt impelled the king to transfer the church to Missenden Abbey on the ground that the latter was burdened by the frequent coming of persons to the Abbey and had been impoverished by great scarcity over a period of years (no. 819). Another and unusual method of augmenting the monastic revenue was not commendable. Soon after his election in I356 Abbot Ralf Marshall was convicted of 'having traitorously and feloniously falsi- fied and clipped the king's money, to wit, groats and sterlings' at his manor of The Lee, for which he was sentenced to be drawn and hanged. ~6 The sentence, however, was not carried out, the abbot being delivered to the Bishop of Lincoln for incarceration in Nutley Abbey. 27 In I36I the king ordered his return to Missenden which 'for lack ofa pastor was. being wasted and destroyed',~8 and he remainedas ab.botuntit his:dea_tkin-t374. : " " : ...... 23.

During the fifteenth century there is a paucity of references to the Abbey in the public records. For the first half there is almost a complete lack of information and even the names of some of the abbots are unknown. We do know, however, that about I433 the Abbey was visited by Bishop Gray of Lincoln but he does not seem to have found much amiss. The number of canons was insufficient for the due performance of religious services and they were to be increased as soon as possible; also the conventual buildings were to be repaired. ~9 There seems to have been, not surprisingly, laxity of administration in the affairs of the monastery for the bishop enjoined the abbot to give a yearly account in the presence of the whole convent of his administration of its spiritual and temporal goods. He was also prohibited from granting in future pensions and annuities without the special licence of the bishop and the consent of the canons. The bishop forbade, too, the selling or hewing down of the thick and ancient copses belonging to the Abbey, except what was required for necessary repairs, without his special authority and the consent of the canons. 8° These references to consent suggest that the abbot had been behaving in an autocratic manner and had been disposing of the revenues and assets of the community at his own discretion. Some years later, in 1462, autocratic behaviour on the part of the abbot probably lay behind the arrest of some of the canons who were to be brought before the Court of Chancery and there to give an undertaking not to injure the abbot, Robert Risborough, or to set fire to his houses. In the fight of subsequent events Risborough does not appear to have been the innocent party and the story of his con- flict with his brother canons and ultimate dismissal is set out in detail in the Victoria County History article.31 From what has been said already it seems clear that the many difficulties and disorders experienced by the Abbey from the later thirteenth century to the end of the fifteenth arose largely from the absence of outside supervision. In view of the enormous extent of the diocese of Lincoln during the medieval period the control exercised by the diocesan could only be sporadic and dependent on the re- forming zeal of an individual bishop. In theory the Augustinian Order itself should, by means of triennial Chapters and triennial visitations of its houses, have ensured the maintenance of discipline and good order. Such evidence as exists shows that these visitations, even if in fact they were regularly made, were not effective and were certainly not as productive as the intermittent episcopal visitations. Only one Augustinian visitation of Missenden is known to have been

projected, in I5o6 , when the abbot, on behalf of himself, the prior and nine canons, agreed to appear before the visitors. Whether the visitation actuaIly took place is not known nor, if it did take place, is any record of its findings extant.82 The only real interest of the I5o6 visitation is the information it produced about the number of religious in the Abbey at that time and this raises the interesting question as to how many canons were resident there during its long history. A definite and complete answer is impossible but a few relevant remarks may be offered. At the time of the foundation of the Abbey the number of canons who came over from St. Mary de Nemours in the Th~rouanne district was probably small, but there is no authority for the statement in the V.G.H. article that the number was definitely seven, nor is evidence quoted in Medieval Religious Houses for the statement that the Abbey 'probably supported at least twenty-six canons in the twelfth to thirteenth centuries '88. Again the statement in V.C.H. that in the fifteenth century there were as many as twenty canons relies for its authority on a Patent Roll entry of 9June i462 ordering the arrest of a number of the Abbey inmates, only three of whom are in fact described as canons; the remainder were probably members of the lay staff. 84 Bearing in mind Bishop Gray's complaint that there were too few canons for the effective discharge of their ecclesiastical duties and the number quoted above for the very beginning of the sixteenth century, the probability seems to be that in the fifteenth century at least the number of canons was less than twenty, whatever it may have been in the earlier centuries. Just before and at the dissolution in I539, the picture is much clearer. In I53o there were the abbot and eight canons, SS in i534 the abbot and thirteen canons subscribed to the Act of Supremacy, a6 and at the surrender of the Abbey in i539 by the last abbot John Otwell there were, in addition to the prior John Wedon, eight canons.aT During the last thirty years or so of its existence the spiritual and temporal condition of the Abbey deteriorated sadly or at least there is much more evidence of deterioration than is available for earlier centuries. This is provided by the visitations of Bishop Atwater in 1518 and of Bishop Longland in I53O and I53I. On the occasion of Atwater's visit, the bishop found that the canons went into 'the town', presumably Great Missenden, too frequently and he ordered that licences for this purpose should be restricted to cases of need. He

found the refectory and infirmary in disrepair. He enjoined that at least five of the canons should in future be priests, and a suitable place was to be provided where the canons generally could receive their friends two or three times a year. The appointments of the conventual church were not what they should have been and in particular he found it necessary to order a lamp to be kept alight before the Blessed Sacrament. An episcopal thunderbolt was directed at a novice, Richard Ginger, who, being too prone to ease and giving neither his time nor attention to heavenly things, was directed to occupy himself laudably. The servants of the monastery were discovered to be in- solent and abusive to the canons and did not attend to their needs. 3s The impression gained from the visitation is of general slackness both in religious matters and in the conduct of the establishment rather than positive ill-doing, but it may be that the bishop from lack of time or thoroughness did not push his investigations far enough. When in October I53o Thomas Jackman, deputizing for the bishop, visited the monastery, his findings disclosed a very unsatisfactory state of affairs. In the material sphere he found that the canons had allowed the business affairs of the house to fall into the hands of an unscrupulous bailiff, John Compton, who, according to the testimony of the sacrist Richard Ginger, presumably the novice rebuked by Atwater, ruled the canons and was useless to the monastery. The extent of Compton's control was shown by the fact that the canons never attended the steward's or other local courts, could produce no rent-roll or estate book, and had done nothing to survey the property. Not surprisingly, the house was found to be in debt to the amount of £60, and all the buildings were out of repair, while the valuable woods and coppices on the Abbey lands were felled by Compton at will. On the spiritual side one canon, John Slythurst, was accused by some of his brethren not only of being 'verbose, of elate mind, and a sower of dissension', but guilty of the crime, in the words of the words of the writer of the V.C.H. article, 'condemned beyond all others in Holy Scripture'. Apart from this major scandal, only slight departures from normal discipline were noticed on this occasion, such as the omission to read lessons from Holy Scripture in the refectory and the failure to keep closed the gate between the nave and choir of the conventual church so that lay persons could wander about the choir at will. The bishop's commissary does not seem to have done anything to bring order into the temporal affairs of the monastery but in the case of Slythurst prompt action had to be taken. He was placed in the strict custody of the abbot and prior, he was not to leave the Abbey without the bishop's permission, and none was to see him except those who visited him for the good of his soul.

38. V.C.H.i, 373. XX THE MISSENDEN CARTULARY

It is clear that shortly after this visitation further disquieting information must have reached Lincoln and in June I53I, Bishop Longland visited Missenden in person, armed with a schedule of charges against the abbot, John Fox, and one of the canons, Roger i' Palmer. Both had been guilty of immoral conduct with a certain Margaret Bishop, wife of a villager, but the chief culprit was Roger ,! Palmer. Against the latter full evidence of time and place was provided by the steward and two other servants. He was said to have had false keys for every lock in the monastery and to have gone about at night time in a doublet and jerkin with a sword at his side. The bishop ordered Palmer to be imprisoned presumably in the Abbey, a punish- ment which on the surface seems to be rather lenient. Even so the wayward canon seems sooner or later to have been re-admitted to the fold for at the time &the surrender he was an inmate &the house and as such received a pension. As to the abbot he confessed to the truth of the charges brought against him and admitted further that his sister was the convent brewer and that her daughter , his niece, had been dismissed from the house because of her ill reputation. In spite of the evidence of his incapacity, the abbot was not deprived of office but merely suspended during the bishop's pleasure, a sentence little more than formal. 39 Following on his visitation, Longland issued a long list of injunctions, to be read every month in chapter, which were designed to restore religion, morality, and learning to the delinquent community. 40 Detailed instructions were laid down for the enforcement of religious discipline, and the fact that they were so detailed shows how far the canons had slipped from the true path. In the refectory, where meals were to begin with grace, a passage of scripture was to be read from the pulpit by one of the brethren. Psalms or hymns were to be sung in going to and from the refectory and afterwards to the church; then the canons were to return to the cloister and sit in contemplation and study for at least one hour; for the rest of the afternoon, apart from choir observances, every canon was to occupy himself either in the study of grammar or in writing, painting, carving, or some other honest craft to avoid idleness 'which is the mother of all mischief'. The doors from the body of the church into the cloister, of the lady chapel, and between the nave and choir were to be kept locked. .1 In the sphere of morality the injunctions were severe. Only the abbot and prior were to have keys to the cloister door or of the back

No canon was allowed to go into the town, except the canon who was vicar of Great Missenden. No secular child was to lie or be familiar with any of the canons or to go into the ceils or any secret place with any of them. The number of secular children in the monastery was to be limited to six and an honest man was to see to their virtuous upbringing and schooling. The prior was especially reprimanded for his remissness in not correcting the brethren and in allowing them to live lasciviously and to wander abroad in the town and in the fields day and night, 'to the great slander and infamy of the holy habit and place'. He was to see that the brethren stayed within the monastery and that they went out only in a body and under supervision twice a week into the fields for recreation. The abbot was charged to reform the dress of the canons. They were not to wear 'any garded or welted hose or stuffed codpese or jerkin or any other short or courtly fashioned garment'. Their kirtles were in future to be at least down to the ankle. A 'sober, sad man' was to be appointed porter of the great gates of the monastery entering into the little court and he was to see that no woman passed through the gates. The lack of learning among the canons was emphasized at the out- set. ~2 'For that ye be ignorant and have small understanding of Latin' the injunctions were drawn up in 'our vulgar English tongue' so that they should be readily understood and it is not surprising that the abbot was enjoined to appoint a grammar teacher. The wordly affairs of the monastery had clearly fallen into a bad state and the bishop had much to say under this head. He was convinced that Compton was the chief culprit in that he put the house 'to great charges and enriched himself'. Henceforth he was not to meddle with its business affairs until he could convince the bishop by producing audited accounts that he was behaving uprightly, a somewhat ambiguous condition if he was to be summarily discharged from office as seemed to be the intention. More responsibility was placed on the abbot to ensure the restoration and maintenance of the monastic economy. He was to see that terriers, account books, and rentals were made and was required to present an annual account of the state of the house to the chapter. One or two of the wisest canons were to be given the oversight of the monastic lands. The number of servants in the Abbey was excessive and should be re- duced, the abbot's kinsfolk were not to hang upon the monastery's

4~. The Augustinians had a reputation for learning and the case of Missenden was probably exceptional. In earlier days the canons were no doubt more scholarly and they certainly had a library; a few of its books have been traced, i.e. the works of St. Augustine and Bede, and the Speculum humane salvationis: N. R. Ker, Medieval Libraries of Great Britain, 73" xxii THE MISSENDEN CARTULARY

charge as they had done, and no pensions or portions were to be granted. No doubt as an earnest of good intentions, the abbot was directed to forgo some dish from his own board and from that of the canons, until 'thou bring thy said house in state again as thou hast by thy negligence brought it in decay'. Repairs were to be done to the church, cloister, dorter, infirmary, and other buildings, especially the belfry, and every place was to be preserved from filth and stench. With regard to the notorious Slythurst, he was to be committed to prison, presumably in the Abbey, until the bishop had considered the case fnrther. He was to hold no office within the house without episcopal authority. Here again, as with Compton, there seems a curious reluctance to resort to severe measures and one would have thought that Slythurst's misdeeds would have merited expulsion at the least. In fact, he seems, sooner or later, to have made his peace with his superiors, for at the Dissolution he was offered the living of The Lee or a 15ension in lieu. 48 In view of the episcopal doubts expressed about the abbot's financial and administrative ability, it is relevant to consider the information about the revenues and outgoings of the Abbey in a compotus roll covering the eighteen months from 25 December, I528 , to 24 June, 153o , i.e. the period immediately precedingJackman's visitation. 4~ The particulars are set out below, shillings and pence being ignored.

Moreover, the items on the expenditure side relating to servants and to pensions give point to Longland's strictures with regard to them. It is tempting but too hazardous to try to interpret the above amounts in terms of modern money, but nevertheless, despite financial difficulties, one gains the impression that the canons of Missenden lived quite comfortably. For the few years that remained before the Dissolution little is known of the history of the Abbey. In 1534 Abbot Fox and the canons, like many other religious, found it expedient to make acknowledgment of the royal supremacy. 45 With its surrender to the king

in September i539 Missenden Abbey, after four hundred years, ceased to exist. What happened to the inmates? Annual pensions were granted to the abbot, John Otwell (~5o), the prior John Wedon and Roger Palmer (£6 i3s. 4 d. each), Thomas Luffenham (£6), William Roberds, John Amery, and William Smith (£5 6s. 8d. each). Thomas Barnard was granted the living of Great Missenden and John Slythurst, as already noted, that of The Lee. John Shepherd 'an old impotent man' was given a pension of 4o shillings. ~e The pensioners do not altogether disappear from view with their departure from the Abbey. John Otwell married, one of the few heads of monastic houses to do so, and lived on his pension until his death in I559 .47 The notorious Roger Palmer continued to draw his pension for nearly thirty years until his death in 1568.*s By 1554 William Roberds was priest of Halton, William Smith had supplemented his pension by becoming rector of Yielden (Beds.) worth £i 3 i3s. 4 d. per annum, and Thomas Barnard, then married, was still vicar of Great Missenden.~° Much of what has been related about the Abbey makes sad reading, but it is only part of the story as there are many periods in its long history about which information is meagre and judgment, therefore, impossible. But at least it may be said that students of the medieval history of Buckinghamshire have reason to be grateful to that Missenden canon who so laboriously compiled the notable record which is perhaps his Abbey's greatest memorial.

Like other Augustinian houses, Missenden had its lay patron who, besides having custody of the Abbey when the office of abbot was vacant (no. 31), had the right to be informed of that vacancy, to have the person chosen by the canons presented to him, to assent to the election, and to present him to the bishop for confirmation)° In the I3th century the Lincoln episcopal rolls show the procedure in action. In i236 and i24 o the convent elected Robert and Roger de Eylesbir respectively, licence to elect having first been obtained from the patron, lady Joan de Sanford) 1 In 1258 Simon de London was elected with the consent ofJohn de Plessis, Earl of Warwick, and John Maunsell as guardians of Henry Huse. This must have happened after the death of Bishop Henry Lexington and so without episcopal confirmation. At any rate when Richard Gravesend became bishop later in the year he quashed the election and himself appointed Simon. The election of Geoffrey de Whelpley followed the usual form, John de Plessis and Henry Huse consenting, while in the case of William de London the licence to elect was obtained from Hugh de Plessis alone. The patronage lay with the lords of Missenden manor and on its division c. 1252 into Overbury and Netherbury the lords of each of these two sub-manors seem to have acted as joint patrons. 52 Although the patron or patrons seem to have played a restricted r61e in the affairs of the Abbey--and from the later i3th century there is no record of even their formal congk d'glire being required---it is probable that they maintained an interest in its welfare; for example, when the Abbey got into difficulties in I281 Henry Huse shared in the attempt to set its affairs in order. 58 J.

NOTE : The fact that this charter and no. 676 are in identical terms and many of the witnesses are common to both suggests that they were both executed at the same time, presumably after the death of their mother Murlel de Langetot.

68i Suggested settlement of the dispute between the Abbey and William de Engelfeld about a chantry in his chapel of Shiplake. It was proposed that William should give the Abbey 2½ marks of rent yearly and 15 acres of land with a rent of I2d. in Shiplake which the Abbey would assign to its vicar of Shiplake who would then provide a chaplain to celebrate mass daily in the chapel. William was to hand over the land and rents on 13 June 1242. It was agreed that the settlement should be submitted to the bishop of Lincoln on the understanding that its part of the benefice of Shiplake should not be diminished by reason of the provision of the chantry. The Abbey will consider itself injured if its part is diminished by more than 2s. In that event the parties shall appear at the church of St. Lawrence, Reading on 8 July for the purpose of agreeing that William may build a chapel in his own house in Shiplake for which the Abbey shall provide a chantry and all things pertaining thereto.

682 Recital of a papal mandate of I23O issued by Pope Gregory IX to the Abbot of Colchester and the Priors of St. John and St. Botolph, Colchester, calling on them to decide the complaint of Peter the knight that Missenden Abbey do not celebrate divine service in his chapel at Lashbrook. Abbot Martin and Simon vicar of Shiplake agree that Peter son of Oger and his successors shall have a perpetual chantry in his court of Lashbrook. Peter is to maintain the chantry clerk who is to take an oath to the vicar of Ship- lake that he wiU keep immune from loss the mother church of Shiplake. It. I23o]

CHALFONT ST. PETER

843 Note of an assise of novel disseisin before the itinerant justices at Wycombe on [clxxij fo. 166] 20 Feb. 1365. The Abbot complained that Walter vicar of Ghalfont St. Peter had unjustly disselsed him of his free tenement in Chalfont St. Peter, viz. IOO acres of land, 3 acres of meadow and 4 acres of woodland. Waiter maintains that the tenement was assigned to the vicarage at the time of its ordination, but the Abbot claims it as part of the manor of Ghalfont St. Peter, of which he is lord. The jury supports the Abbot's claim and estimates the damage at 2os. The Abbot recovers his seisin and Waiter is amerced, 204 THE MISSENDEN CARTULARY

HUGHENDEN

844 [clxxiij fo. i66v.] Action in Court of Common Pleas brought by the Abbot by his attorney John Corbridge against William de Lokynton, master of the Hospital of St. John, Wycombe, regarding 19 acres of land and an acre of woodland in Hughenden, which he held of the Abbot at a yearly rent of 13s. 4 d. The Abbot sued a writ against him on I6 Feb. 51 Edward III but before the suit could be heard the king died. The suit was resumed before the justices of Richard II and the jury said on oath that the Abbot Rail, a predecessor of the present Abbot was seised of the services due from the tenements and so was Mathew another predecessor in the time of I-Ienry III and so were all the predecessors from time immemorial until two years before the suing out of the writ. Recovery of seisin was allowed to the Abbot and William was amerced. [I378-9]
