The last of its priors was Richard Tutbury, from 1459 to 1466. In 1467 it was annexed by [Evesham Abbey](/source/Evesham_Abbey), from whence it had a prior or warden who was an Evesham monk.[2] In 1536 its ownership was transferred to the politician [Thomas Cromwell](/source/Thomas_Cromwell). Little now remains of the site. ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-Victoria_County_History_1-0)** A History of the County of Warwick: Volume 2: Religious Houses, William Page ed 1908 pages 56-61 URL: [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=36488](http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=36488) 1. **[^](#cite_ref-KnowlesSmith2008_2-0)** David Knowles; David M.
