List of possessions of the abbey of Marmoutier de Tours
Abbey's possessions From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Until the French Revolution, the abbey of Marmoutier owned numerous estates in France, as well as in England. A list drawn up in the 17th century[1] shows almost 200 dependencies, including five in England. The vast majority of these were priories, but the monks of Marmoutier also owned farms and mills close to their abbey, to ensure supplies.
The archives départementales d'Indre-et-Loire (Indre-et-Loire departmental archives) hold a parchment-bound in-4° vellum register, comprising 46 sheets written on the acts of visits made by Jean de Mauléon to 90 priories dependent on his abbey from 1316 to 1325.[12] Another register gives copies of the leases granted on the priories dependent on the abbey from 1719 to 1767.[13]
