62. EGGLESTONE ABBEY 1 



The Praemonstratensian abbey of St. John 

 the Baptist of Egglestone lay in the parish of 

 Rokeby on the extreme northern edge of the 

 ancient earldom of Richmond, Documentary 

 and structural evidence points to the years 1195 

 to 1 1 98 as a probable date, and a member of 

 the Multon family was in all likelihood tht 

 original donor. Camden says Conan IV, Duke 

 of Britanny and Earl of Richmond, founded 

 this house, but as he died in 1 1 7 1 this is not 

 probable. The first document relating to 

 Egglestone is a fine, dated 11 98, between Ralph 

 Multon and his overlord Ralph Lenham on 

 account of the former having alienated all the 

 lands which he held of him at Egglestone with- 

 out his sanction to the abbot and convent there.
