17. The next extracts throw some light upon a point in the 
topography of the City of Bath. It is well known that upon 
the ground south of the Abbey Church once stood the Priory 
of St. Peter and St. Paul, whose property included all the space 
between the Church and the River, round to Southgate Street ; 
extending beyond the River to Prior Park, Lyncomb, and 
Widcombe. The Priory was “voluntarily” surrendered by 
Wm. Hollwey the last Prior, on 27 January, 1539. A 
principal purchaser was one Matthew Colthurst. All that 
Collinson then says of it, (Som.1.58.) is that Colthurst “sold 
to Morley, from whom it descended to the Duke of Kingston.” 
This of course refers to the well known extensive property in 
Bath now belonging to Earl Manvers, the present repre- 
sentative of the Duke.
