| Abstract | This session explores various aspects of the history of the only Premonstratensian foundation in Brittany and of its Lincolnshire priory, Ravendale. Paper A discusses the connections of the abbey with earlier island foundations, either eremitical or Augustinian. Paper B examines the range of liturgical artifacts that once belonged to Beauport Abbey, using evidence from a 17th century inventory combined with previous scholarship, to reconstruct, within a liturgical framework, the artistic wealth of the abbey. Paper C describes and analyzes a 1379 extent and a 1387 inquisition of Ravendale and compares them with other extents and inquisitions of alien priories in modern terms using current accounting practices. |
