 The Athelney Cartulary
In the early fifteenth century a monk of Athelney compiled a cartulary for the abbey, containing copies of all the charters and other documents which had accumulated in the abbey's archives from the late ninth century until his own day.
In the early eighteenth century this cartulary belonged to Sir William Wyndham, of Orchard Wyndham in Somerset; and in 1735 an abbreviated transcript was made of its contents by the antiquary George Harbin.
The cartulary shows that the monks of Athelney, in the fifteenth century, remained conscious and proud of the fact that their history stretched back to King Alfred's foundation of the abbey in the late ninth century.

 Lyng and Athelney
The island of Athelney is a spur of keuper marl which  rises proud of the Somerset levels.
The place-name Athelney has been translated as ‘isle of the aethlings’ and is traditionally the place where Aethelwine  (son of Cynegils,  king of the West Saxons 611-42, brother of Cenwealh, king of of the West Saxons 642-72) lived as a hermit in the mid-7th century, who later was to be venerated as a saint.
Despite this the settlement retained burh status and was recorded as such in 1498-9.  A chapel, dependant on the church at Athelney, was founded at East Lyng prior to 1291, on the west edge of the medieval settlement.
