Abbey of Glastonbuiy was then attached to the See, 

 which led to many years of angry litigation between the 

 Bishop of ßath and the monks of the Abbey. It ended 

 in a compromise : the bishops dropping the title of Glas- 

 tonbury, and the monks sacrificing a few of their manors. 



The prior's house, in the main street of Bruton, is the 

 only part of the conventual buildings remaining above 

 ground, and on it are the two ancient bearings of the 

 Mohuns, and the arras and badge of John Henton the 

 prior. It is said that there are still extensive crypts 

 remaining under the Abbey lawn, before the parsonage. 



There is considerable variance in the list of the priors ; 

 Sir R. Hoare's list is as follows : 



1114. G , prior. 



1159. William, prior. 



1184. Robert, prior. 



1188. Philip, prior. 



1194. Gilbert, prior. 



1416. 9th Nov., John, summoned to the convocation. 



1418. John Corsham, prior, died lOth Dec. 



1429. John Sehoyle, resigned. 



1448. Richard Glastonbury, prior, died. 



1488. John Henton, prior. 



1498. William Gilbert, prior. 



1533. John Ely, abbot, surrendered the Abbey in 



1539. 



I have also added the lists made out by Collinson and 

 Mr. Phelps, in their Histories of Somerset, and Mr. Bord, 

 in his valuable essay on the History of Bruton. 

 Collinson : 



1144. Gilbert. 



1159. William. 



1184. Robert.
