Wombridge Priory
Wombridge Priory was a small Augustinian monastery in Shropshire. Established in the early 12th century, it was supported by a network of minor nobility and was never a large community. Despite generally good financial management, it fell within the scope of the Suppression of Religious Houses Act 1535 and was dissolved in the following year.
==Foundation==
William Dugdale, the pioneering historian of Britain's monasteries, thought that Wombridge Priory was founded by William FitzAlan,〔(Dugdale, p.157-8 )〕 who dominated Shropshire and large tracts of the Welsh marches in the early to mid 12th century. It is now known that it was founded by or for William of Hadley, a much less powerful landowner, and a vassal of William FitzAlan, who was tenant-in-chief of the manor of Hadley. William of Hadley was the terre tenant or lord of the manor.〔 William was married to Seburga, an illegitimate daughter of a much wealthier and more powerful baron, Hamo Peveril,〔(Eyton, Volume 7, p.353 )〕 whose seat was High Ercall Hall. The earliest grant of lands to the Priory, consisting of the site in Hadley Wood and a half virgate at High Hatton, must date from 1136 or a little earlier and was made by William of Hadley, Seburga and their son, Alan of Hadley.〔 The only record of it is in a document confirming William FitzAlan's approval of his tenants' actions. FitzAlan's confirmation quite explicitly recognises that the gift comes from William, Seburga and Alan but says it is ''pro salute animae suae'' – for the salvation of his soul, in the singular:〔(Eyton, Volume 7, p.363 )〕 perhaps simply a mistake. However it seems that William died around 1136, perhaps between the gift and its confirmation. The document refers to ''Canonicis de Wombrug'', implying that the community envisaged in the grant was composed of Augustinian Canons Regular.
FitzAlan's confirmation seems to be the origin of the idea that he was the founder,〔 although he appears only as William of Hadley’s feudal lord.〔 A much later document of 1319 mentions FitAlan's confirmation while omitting the original founders.〔 FitAlan had his own monastic foundation to tend, Haughmond Abbey, and was a great benefactor to Shrewsbury Abbey, as were his dynasty for centuries.
