	Christchurch Priory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Christchurch Priory (Grid reference SZ160925) is a ruined priory in Christchurch, Dorset (formerly in Hampshire), England.
		In 1999 a window celebrating the 900th anniversary of the priory was installed, which shows a starry night in which the Cross of Christ dominates, surrounded by a pattern of circles, the symbols of Eternity and Perfection, and the Chi-Rho monogram of Christ.
		Christchurch priory, as its website puts it, is 'a living church' with daily services of matins and evensong, as well as being open every day except Christmas for visitors.

	Houses of Austin canons: Priory of Christchurch, Twyneham \| British History Online
		In 1306 a mandate was issued by Bishop Woodlock interdicting John de Warham, sub-prior of Christchurch, from leaving the monastery, and in quire and chapter he was to be on a level with the rest of the canons.
		The king had granted to William Montague and his wife the castle and manor of Christchurch, and the escheator had considered that the custody of the priory (which was appurtenant to the castle and manor) pertained to the king during a vacancy, and had not permitted the sub-prior and convent to intermeddle with it.
		Christchurch priory was visited in November, 1404; amongst the findings of the visitor may be noted that there were twenty-two canons instead of the statutory number of twentysix; that there were twelve sick in the farmery; and that Prior Borard had not rendered a proper balance sheet in the presence of the chapter.

		At this time Christchurch was a royal possession and on the 12th December 1330 Sir Thomas West was granted, for a period of seven years, the custody of the castle, borough and hundred of Christchurch together with the manor of Westover.
		It is unlikely that he was the resident constable of the castle as in the same document he was granted the custody of Southampton Castle, the New Forest, the manors of Ringwood and Lyndhurst and the bailiwick and hundred of "Rudbergh" (presumably Redbridge).
		Their son, also a Sir Thomas, was said to have been Constable of Christchurch Castle from 1400 until his death on either the 18th or 19th April 1405.

		These factors and the concurrent highly successful, albeit illicit, smuggling of spirits which supported the majority of the local population in an otherwise impoverished town account for the numerous pubs, beer-houses or so-called 'bush houses' which sprang up to provide an outlet for the consumption of the local or imported product.

		A rival claimant to the oldest pub title is the Ship in the High Street, but a local mariner, John Budden, purchased it as a dwelling-house for £36 in 1636, by which time the George was already in existence.
