Occasional mention has been made of the many privileges and 

 immunities enjoyed by the convent and it's priors ; but a more 

 particular state seems to be necessary. The author therefore 

 thinks this the proper place, before he concludes these antiquities^

 Tanner, respecting the Priory and it's advantages, in his Notitia 

 Monastica, a book now seldom seen, on account of the extravagance 

 of it's price ; and being but in few hands cannot be easily con- 

 sulted.i He also adds a few of it's many privileges from other 

 authorities : — the account is as follows. Tanner, page 166. 



SELEBURNE. 



A priory of hlack canons, founded by the often-mentioned Peter 

 de Rupibus, bishop of Winchester, A.D. 1233, and dedicated to the 

 blessed Virgin Mary : but was suppressed — and granted to William 

 Wainjieet, bishop of Winchester, who made it part of the endow- 

 ment of St. Mary Magdalene College in Oxford. The bishops of 

 Winchester were patrons of it. [Pat. 17. Edw. II.] Vide in Mon.
