78 REPTON PRIORY. 
Valor Ecclesiasticus (27 Henry VIII.) gives the gross: annual 
value of the temporalities and spiritualities as £167 18s. 21d., a 
sum equal to at least 4 3,000 per annum of the present time. At 
the visitation of the monasteries by Doctors Leigh and Layton, a 
few years previous to the suppression, the annual rental was 
£180. 
The Priory was suppressed in 1540, and the whole of its build- 
ings and possessions were assigned to Thomas Thacker, of Heage, 
a steward of the malleus monachorum, Thomas, Lord Cromwell. 
A very full inventory of the goods and possessions remains in 
the Public Record Office,* of which a transcript is here given :
