RELIGIOUS HOUSES 



Clairvaux, John, Abbot 'de Theolosco,' and 

 John [Ripon], Abbot of Fountains. Indeed, 

 the resignation of Abbot Colyngham may have 

 resulted from this visitation of the abbey, 

 although nothing is said to that effect. 



A very large amount of property was gradually 

 acquired by the abbey of Kirkstall. It mainly 

 lay in the neighbourhood of the abbey, in 

 Blackburnshire, and in the East Riding, the 

 latter being the property purchased from the 

 abbey of St. Martin near Albemarle.^' 



In the Taxation of 1291 the temporalities 

 were valued at ^^68 5;. Sd}* The returns for 

 part of Yorkshire in the Fakr Ecclesiasticus of 

 Henry VIII are defective, and the portion 

 relating to Kirkstall is missing. 



The monastery was surrendered by John 

 Ripley, abbot, and the convent on 22 November 



1540.
