Publisher's Synopsis
The Priory of S. Mary Magdalene at Tonbridge: For Canons Regular of the Order of S. Augustine is a historical book written by James Foster Wadmore in 1881. The book provides a comprehensive description of the priory and its history, which was founded in the 13th century by Richard de Clare, Earl of Hertford. The priory was established for the Canons Regular of the Order of S. Augustine, who were responsible for the religious and educational needs of the local community. The book covers various aspects of the priory, including its architecture, daily life of the canons, and the priory's involvement in local affairs. It also discusses the decline of the priory during the Reformation and its eventual dissolution. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of religious institutions in England and provides a detailed account of the priory's contributions to the town of Tonbridge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
