"At Muckleford, which estate was granted with the advowson of Bradford Peverell to the Norman abbey of Tiron, a cell was said to have been established, but it is clear that the estate was really under the control of the abbey's cell of Andwell in Hampshire". (2)
"Muckleford has sometimes been reckoned as an alien cell, but it seems to have been a parcel of Andwell". Listed under 'Houses of the Order of Tiron' as possible Alien Grange (?). (3) |
