60. THE PRIORY OF ARUNDEL 



Roger de Montgomery, earl of Shrewsbury, 

 not long after he had obtained the earldom of 

 Sussex, gave certain lands and advowsons to the 

 abbey of S6ez, with a vacant site in Arundel to 

 erect a priory, which was done in 1102 when 

 Gratian, a monk of Seez, became first prior. 

 The priory continued here for some seventy 

 years, but in 1177 the then earl of Arundel 

 removed the English secular canons from the 

 church of St. Nicholas at Arundel, and intro- 

 duced in their place this small priory of four or 

 five monks, which continued a cell to St. Martin 

 of S^ez. 1 Of its history very little is known. 

 Its endowment eventually included the advow- 

 sons of the parish churches of Arundel, Yapton, 

 Rustington, Billingshurst, Kirdford, Cocking, and 

 half Littlehampton, as well as the manor of 

 Yapton and lands and rents in other West 

 Sussex parishes, but of individual benefactors and 

 their grants there is no record. The church of 

 Cocking was also claimed by the monks of Seez

in I2OO as belonging to the prebend of Arundel, 

 given them by Earl Roger. 2 In 1291 the tem- 

 poralities of the priory were valued at 14 lOs. 6d., 

 with an additional ^5 in pensions arising from 

 various tithes. 3 



In 1340 the prior of St. Nicholas obtained 

 royal licence to acquire lands to the value of 

 6oj., 4 and at the same time the earl of Arundel 

 had leave to grant to the same prior a plot of 

 land in Arundel 40 ft. long by 36 ft. broad, with 

 an oratory built thereon in honour of St. Mary. 5 

 Apparently the monks found that this oratory 

 was a source of expense and not of income, as 

 three years later the earl obtained a fresh licence 

 to grant to them 30 acres in Arundel that they 

 should celebrate service daily in honour of Christ
