Plympton Priory

Plympton Priory was a priory in Devon, England.[1] Its history is recorded in the Annales Plymptonienses.[2]

History

The site of an Anglo-Saxon minster, Plympton Priory was re-founded as an Augustinian house by Bishop William Warelwast in 1121.[3] The foundation was confirmed by Henry I sometime around then. [4] Warelwast was apparently scandalised by the loose living of the existing canons of Plympton, and he closed the house, sending them to a new house in Bosham, West Sussex. He then re-founded Plympton, with brethren from Holy Trinity Priory, Aldgate and Merton Priory.[5][6]

The Priory supplied various local clergy (not always without controversy), and continued to be an important local establishment until its dissolution in 1539. It was the richest monastic house in Devon, and the fourth wealthiest Augustinian house in England and Wales.[7] The Valor Ecclesiasticus gave its value as £898 0s 8 1/8d.[8]

gollark: As a new mRNA strand is generated by the action of the RNA polymerase II machinery on a stretch of DNA, it gets a “cap” attached to the end that’s coming out from the DNA (the “5-prime” end), a special nucleotide (7-methylguanosine) that’s used just for that purpose. But don’t get the idea that the new mRNA strand is just waving in the nucleoplasmic breeze – at all points, the developing mRNA is associated with a whole mound of specialized RNA-binding proteins that keep it from balling up on itself like a long strand of packing tape, which is what it would certainly end up doing otherwise.
