The Priory of St Giles and St Andrew, Barnwell, was among the
earliest English communities of Augustinian canons, founded by the
sheriff of Cambridge in 1092. Although little survives of its
buildings, its records form a significant source for both Cambridge
and Augustinian history. The Observances, translated and edited in
1897 by J. W. Clark, form the eighth book of the late
thirteenth-century Liber Memorandorum, also reissued in this
series. The fourth-century Rule of St Augustine is a short and
general guide to community life, and needed to be supplemented by a
fuller set of instructions for the day-to-day running of the
complex organisation which comprised a medieval monastery. The
Observances provide detail about the roles played by all the
officials of the priory and about the daily cycle of work and
prayer, and give the modern reader a real insight into medieval
monastic life.
