Maiden Bradley Priory information


Maiden Bradley Priory was a priory in Wiltshire, England.[1] It was founded as a leper colony in 1164, and in 1189 was handed over to the Augustinian order. It was dissolved in 1536.[2] The last prior had six children, and claimed to have special permission from the pope to keep a "whore", according to the commissioners. He also told them that the nearby Glastonbury Thorn would flower on Christmas eve, at the hour that Christ was born.[3]
