From Eames, type 2307, provenance Nottinghamshire, Nottingham, C late 14th, Near Nottingham, this famous abbey was founded as a priory around 1170 by Henry II, as part of his penance for the muder of
Thomas Becket. Never a very important abbey, it was dissolved on 21st July 1539, having paid for an exemption to the earlier
closures that would have affected a monastery of its size. Afterwards, it became the property of the Byron family, with whose
name it is most famously connected with.
