Minster Lovell Priory
Hob Uid: 334826
Location : Oxfordshire West Oxfordshire Minster Lovell
Grid Ref : SP3200011000
Summary : Benedictine alien cell of Ivry Abbey. St Kenelm's church was granted to Ivry in 1200. There was probably never more than one monk in residence. It was dissolved in 1414 and granted to Eton College in 1441.
More information : SP 3211. The church of St. Kenelm at Minster Lovell was granted to the Abbey of Ivry in 1200-6 and a small alien cell was thus created. There were never more than two monks in residence, the senior being the prior, and in the 14th century there was probably only a prior. The cell was seized by the Crown in 1414-15 with the other alien priories. The site of the priory house is not known. (1,2) Some confusion has been caused by the erroneous description of the whole manorial complex as 'Minster Lovell Priory' in an 18th century drawing. (3) An Anglo-Saxon bronze pricker from the area of Minster Lovell Priory was given to the Ashmolean Museum, c. 1953, by Mrs P E R Russell. (4)
