Administrative / Biographical history

Lyminster was among the Alien Priories confiscated by Henry V. On 1 July 1409 it was granted to Joan, the widow of Henry IV, for her life; and the grant was confirmed on 27 January 1414. Edward IV granted to Eton College the priory of Leomynstre or Lyminster, co. Sussex, on 24 February 1462.

Date

12th century - 1863

Provenance

Many of the mediaeval documents bear evidence of having been kept in France. Many bear on their backs what appear to be archival references in the form of letters, single or double or triple, to shelves or drawers or boxes. It is therefore thought that the noted documents must have resided at the mother house of Almeneche in Normandy.
