Would the Church of St. Julian in Norwich, where Julian of Norwich was located, be appropriate here? I wasn't sure if it is an 'abbey' or 'priory'. --DanielCD 14:58, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)DanielCD
[edit] St Julian of Norwich
I cannot find any sources to say that her hermitage at Norwich was anything other than a solitary one.
I have chosen to limit this particular list to religious communities primarily set up for the purpose of worship.
Therefore, such locations as hospitals, convents, hermitages and the like are only included where they have at some time been abbeys, priories, friaries, minsters or preceptories, or have been referred to as such, at some time, in common parlance (in which case it is noted where there was in fact no monastic function).

Perhaps this ought to move to "list of..."; it currently seems to be the longest article in WP, but "list of" articles are excluded from those statistics, and this certainly reads that way... Alai 04:12, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Warter
East Riding of Yorkshire - Warter Priory.
- Was this not a Gilbertine house?
- Was the priory on the site of the parish church (SE869505)? The Ordnance Survey has "Priory Earthworks" at the southern end of Warter Priory park at Grid ref. SE854487.
[edit] Combermere Abbey
Do you have a proper source for the non-Cistercian origin? My sources (owner's history, Images of England) all just state Cistercian. Also, it might be better listed in Shropshire, as the surviving buildings of the abbey are all over the boundary. Espresso Addict 12:54, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- Combermere was originally established as a daughter house of Savigny. In 1147 all Savignac houses joined the Cistercian congregation.
- The sources I have examined - including 'The Cistercian Abbeys of Britain' publ. 2002, together with Multimap.co.uk and Streetmap.co.uk show the Abbey remains as being at least 0.5km on the Cheshire side of the county border. --JohnArmagh 20:32, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
