Boxley.
William de Ipre (a Towne in Flanders) the base sonne of Philip Viscount de Ipre,* 1.1 Lieutenant to king Stephen, in the warres against Maud the Em∣presse: for which seruice the king created him Earle of Kent, founded this Abbey, Ann. 1146. which he consecrated to the blessed Virgine Mary, and planted it with a Couent of white Monkes, of Saint Barnards order, which he translated hither from Claravall in Burgundie, which as good children, were to follow and obey the rules and ordinances of the Abbey of Clara∣vall in all things. These are the words in the institution.
Anno 1146. fundata est Boxleia in Cancia,* 1.2filia Claravallis propria. And further, Quod ipsa Abbathia sit subdita Abbathie de Claravalle, &c.
It was ordinarie both beyond Sea and here in England, for one religious house to beget another, as will appeare by the sequele; for not many yeares after her first foundation, this Abbey it selfe was the mother of Roberts∣bridge in Sussex. The yearely value of this house was esteemed at the sup∣pression to be worth 218. l. 19. s. 10. d.
This Monastery in former times was famous for a woodden Roode,* 1.3 by which the Priests for a long while deluded the common people, vntill their fraud and Legierdemain was detected.
