4. Wedon.
Lelandb 1.1 tells us, that St. Werburg was a Nun at Wedon, where was a Monastery in Bede's time, afterward destroyed by the Danes. After the Conquest here were two Alien-Priories, one called Wedon-Pinkney belonging to the Abby of St. Lucian near Beauvoys in France, by the gift of Giles de Pinkeni; the lands belonging to this Priory were granted by King Henry VI. to All-Souls College in Oxfordc 1.2. The other was Cell to the Abby of Bec in Normandy, to which Abby Roger de Thebovil gave part of this Mannor, which was bestowed after the Dissolution of these Alien-Priories by King Henry VI. on Eaton Colleged 1.3.
