The publication of Suffolk charters goes from strength to strength.
ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW The history of Dodnash Priory, one of
numerous Augustinian priories founded in East Anglia in the twelfth
and early thirteenth centuries, has hitherto been totally obscure.
The two hundred original charters edited here now show that it was
founded by Wimer the chaplain, sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk and a
prominent servant of Henry II, and that although always small it
played a disproportionately large part in the economic and social
life of south-east Suffolk for the next three centuries. The early
charters include the first known references to Flatford Mill at
East Bergholt; later documents relate to serious flooding at the
end of the thirteenth century, and soon thereafter to the leasing
of estates in order to adapt to new economic conditions. As always,
the charters provide much information about local lay society as
well as the canons themselves. The late CHRISTOPHER HARPER-BILL was
Professor of English History at the University of East Anglia.
