The Obituary Roll Of Lucy, First Prioress Of Hedingham tituli 115-121
View through Europeana Collections
Lucy de Vere was the founder and first prioress
of the Benedictine nunnery of Hedingam in Essex. When she died,
probably around 1225 her successor, Agnes, sent this roll -- now
over 19 feet long and composed of several strips of parchment sewn
end-to-end -- out to other religious houses, announcing Lucy's
death and asking them to pray for her soul. As it passed around
East Anglia and back and forth across southern England, each of
them added an inscription asking for reciprocal prayers.The titulus
of St Andrew and St Giles, Barnwell, appears in the middle of the
section, in an impressive style of handwriting used for
charters.
