	Abbeys
		Croxden was a late Cistercian abbey founded by Bertram de Verdun, lord of Alton, a baron of the exchequer and a royal justice.
		The house was styled ‘the abbey of the Vale of St. Mary at Croxden’ and although the abbey was dedicated in 1181, the construction of permanent buildings was slow.
		(4) The abbey never recovered its former prosperity and in 1535 the gross annual income of the abbey was assessed as £103, and thus should have been dissolved in 1536 with the lesser monasteries.

	Leek: Onecote \| British History Online
		Hulton abbey was dissolved in 1538, and Mixon was presumably included in the Crown's grant of Bradnop manor in 1546 to Edward Agarde, a London speculator, and in Agarde's grant of the manor in 1547 to Sir Edward Aston of Tixall.
		The grange of Onecote then mentioned in the bounds of Henry de Audley's charter endowing Hulton abbey with land at Mixon was evidently not Hulton's; (Footnote 69) Croxden certainly owned land in Onecote in 1251, and it had a grange there by 1291.
		(Footnote 70) Croxden abbey was dissolved in 1538, and in 1543 the Crown granted its Onecote estate to Sir Edward Aston of Tixall.

		The abbey was the home to a group of people in a quiet location where following a regime of worship to God, contemplation and serious work was possible in a world that was full of cruelty, anarchy and selfishness.
		Little is known of these groups of people in the centuries before and during the Dark Ages, but they did produce from their numbers many people who were to become saints.
		As the life was so strict and the order didn't communicate with the outside world, the number of abbeys remained less than ten in number.

		Thus it was as a Cistercian house, that Combermere Abbey set up daughter houses in Leek (Dieulacres) in 1214 after a failed attempt to colonize the estuary of the Dee, and Hulton in 1218.
		The Cistercian abbeys of Croxden, Dieulacres and Hulton engaged extensively in agriculture and various business enterprises over the next centuries, and played a major role in local affairs.
		The history of the medieval religious houses is chiefly based upon surviving written records kept by the monks and canons themselves, by the officials of the royal government, the diocese, the orders and the papacy.
