Mount Grace Priory - Priors and Rectors of Mount Grace

Priors and Rectors of Mount Grace

The Houses of Carthusian monks: Priory of Mount Grace lists a number of the priors of the house, together with the years they are known to have held office. It might not be correct, as the first two entries could be rectors not priors; nor is it complete as (for example) Carthusian records show Nicholas Love or Luff to be the first prior and fourth rector. The list is:

1. Robert Tredwye or Tredewy, 1398
2. Edmund, occurs 1399
3. Nicholas Luff, occurs 1413, 1415, 1416 (Period of office ends in 1417 according to other sources.)
4. Robert Layton, occurs 1421
5. Thomas Lockington – Prior from 1421 to 1447 (given in "The typescript List of Obiits of the Carthusians of the English Houses") ("The Houses of Carthusian Monks..." shows "Thomas, occurs 1428" and "Thomas Lockington, occurs 1436, 1437, 1439" as separate entries.)
6. Robert, occurs 1449, 1454
7. Robert Leke, occurs 1469, 1473
8. Thomas, occurs 1475, 1476
