Excerpt from St. Botolph's Priory, Colchester
The Rule deals with general principles, and it must have been necessary from an early stage of the history of the Order to supplement it by a set of more detailed directions. These were known as Observances, and became practically part of the Rule, although varying slightly in different houses. Several Observances have come down to us, notably those of the Abbey of St. Victor at Paris, and of St. Denis at Reims. Of English houses the Observances of Barnwell Priory near Cambridge have been printed by the late J. W. Clark of Cambridge, and are of particular interest here, as that house was confederate with the Priories of Colchester and Huntingdon.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and architectural details of St. Botolph's Priory, a significant Augustinian monastery founded in Colchester, England, between 1093 and 1100. The author delves into the priory's origins, its role as the first house of Augustinian Canons in England, and its gradual development over the centuries. Through a detailed examination of the priory's remaining ruins, including the nave of the church, the book sheds light on the architectural techniques and design principles employed during its construction. It also discusses the priory's internal arrangements, claustral buildings, and the lives of the canons who inhabited it, offering insights into the daily routines and spiritual practices of the Augustinian order. The book concludes by emphasizing the priory's historical importance and its enduring legacy as a testament to the architectural and religious heritage of medieval England.
