Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
One of the most turbulent times of ecclesiastical history in this country was undeniably the Reformation period in the sixteenth century; in Leicestershire, as elsewhere, one of the greatest early impacts must have been that caused by the dissolution of the monasteries. The local monastic houses were all yielded up unhesitatingly by their heads, the principal of whom was John Bourchier, Abbot of St. Mary of the Meadows (St. Mary de Pratis), better known as Leicester Abbey, the largest monastery in the county and one of the richest houses of Augustinian or Austin canons in the kingdom. Most local writers appear to have assumed that Abbot Bourchier, like the majority of the dispossessed abbots and priors, retired into obscurity to enjoy his pension; but in fact he was to have an unusually long and varied career after surrendering his abbey. | |||||
