The Church was dedicated to the Most Holy and Blessed Trinity. 

 It consisted of a choir, nave, aisles, chapel by the choir, belfry with 

 two bells, and twelve or thirteen altars besides the high altar. The 

 altar of St. Barbara had an image of the saint in the middle of it. 

 Pope Boniface IX., on account of the great multitude of people who 

 out of devotion to St. Peter Martyr resorted hither, granted, January 

 2nd, 1392-3, the indulgence of two years, and as many lents to the 

 faithful who visited the Church on the festival of that saint (April 

 29th), in honour of whom and St. Anne an altar had been raised. 2 



There was an anchorage attached to this convent. 



The general history of this priory is very fragmentary. 



Edward I., July 5th, 1284, gave six rowers out of Clarendon 

 Forest, probably for firewood. 3 From the same forest, he gave for 

 fuel, seven oaks, April 16th, 1292; 4 six oaks, September 10th, 

 1294; 5 six oaks, March 6th, 1296-7; 6 seven oaks, April 13th, 

 1300 ; 7 and seven oaks, July 18th, 1302; 8 each time all leafless 

 rowers. The same king, when he was at Christchurch, Hants, in 

 1289, sent the friar-preachers at Salisbury, November 16th, an alms 

 of 56s. 4<d. for their food on the vigil, feast, and morrow of All 

 Saints, during his stay at Clarendon. 9 He was at Salisbury in 

 March, 1296-7, and gave them 55<s. Sd. for three days whilst he 

 was at Clarendon (where he spent the Lady-day), and for one day 

 on his arrival at this city. 10 Being here again, December 15th, 1305,
