THE HISTORY OF BREADSALL PRIORY. 



145 



On the suppression of the lesser monasteries in 1536, this 

 small priory came to an end. William Pendylton, the prior, 

 obtained in 1537 the small pension of five marks.* 



There is a small fragment of the seal of Breadsall priory 

 attached to a document of 1453;! enough remains to show 

 that its subject was a representation of the Holy Trinity 

 beneath canopied work.
