He is bringing into some order his canons, who are rude and unlearned. I am only afraid that he is too familiar and easy with them. When the priory was suppressed in 1536 its property included land at Boddington, Northamptonshire, Rotherby, Leicestershire and Wardington, Oxfordshire, and a tenement at Thorpe Mandeville.
