- Abstract
The article examines the price evidence of the estates of Titchfield Abbey in Great Britain in the 14th century. The Premonstratensian Abbey of Titchfield was founded in 1231/2 by Peter des Roches. In the late fourteenth century it had 15 manors, which contained more than 60 villages and hamlets and 500 tenants. The village of Titchfield is about halfway between Portsmouth and Southampton, on the River Meon, three miles from its mouth on Southampton Water. The demesne there was organized into three farms, Posbrook, Lee, and the Rectory barton, and nine other manors in the parish included lands at the villages of Crofton, Stubbington, Fontley and Swanwick. Outside the parish, there were manors at Gorhampton farther inland, Gadland across Southampton Water, Portchester and Portsea on Portsmouth harbour, Wallsworth to the north of Portsdown Hill, and Inkpen in south-west Berkshire. The principal sources for the history of the abbey are the four registers in the British Museum, and the register for Portchester in the Hampshire Record Office.
