 Tanner, respecting the Priory and its advantages, in his 

 Notitia Monastica, a book now seldom seen, on account

 few of its many privileges from other authorities : the 

 account is as follows. Tanner, page 166.

A Priory of black canons, founded by the often-men- 

 tioned Peter de Rupibus, Bishop of Winchester, A. D. 

 1233, and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary : but 

 was suppressed and granted to William Wainfleet, 

 Bishop of Winchester, who made it part of the endow-

 Bishops of Winchester were patrons of it. [Pat. 17.
