For this 1916 work, Archdeacon E. H. Pearce searched through the
extensive muniments of Westminster Abbey to provide a list of all
the known members of the monastic community until the Dissolution.
Over 700 individuals are included, with all the information about
them available to the author. While the list is not complete, and
the use of other sources would add additional names for the early
period, Pearce completed a remarkable achievement. Westminster was
a substantial foundation, with an average community of 47 for the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. About half of these, who held
some office or function, are naturally better documented than
ordinary monks. Scholarship was evidently valued by the abbey,
although the majority of the writings evidenced were on the history
of the community rather than theological or literary works. Some
monks were supported at Oxford, but little is known of the
education offered to the remainder.
