Until 1220,
Alkborough Priory Cell was a dependency of Spalding.
After 1071 one monk only remained in Spalding, so the house was refounded in 1074 as a dependent priory of
St Nicholas's Abbey, Angers. The monks secured their independence from Angers in 1397, and remained so until 1540, when the house was surrendered at the dissolution. Six human skeletons found during building work in Bridge Street are presumed to indicate the site of the Priory burial ground.[2]
The lands of the house passed to the family of Sir Richard Ogle of
Pinchbeck, and were included in the English jointure of
Anne of Denmark in 1603.[3]
Monks Kirby Priory, in Monks Kirby, Warwickshire, also as an English Benedictine house subsidiary to St Nicholas at Angers, established in the wake of the Norman Conquest
