Houses of Austin nuns: Priory of Flixton
In 1321 the Bishop of Norwich effected an exchange with this priory of a moiety of the advowson (with permission to appropriate) of the church of Flixton for the advowson of the church of Helmingham, held by the nuns of the gift of Cicely, widow of Robert de Ufford.
Flixton Priory was among those numerous small houses of East Anglia, andc., that were authorized to be suppressed in 1527-8 by bulls of Pope Clement VII, to enable Cardinal Wolsey to found great colleges at Ipswich and Oxford.

 Houses of Austin nuns: Priory of Campsey | British History Online
The priory of Campsey, or Campsey Ash, was founded about the year 1195, by Theobald de Valoines, who gave all his estate in that parish to his two sisters Joan and Agnes, to the intent they should build a monastery in honour of the Blessed Virgin, for themselves and other religious women.
John de Framlingham, clerk, obtained licence in 1332, at the request of Queen Philippa, for the alienation to the prioress and nuns of Campsey, of the manor of Carlton-by-Kelsall and the advowson of the church of that town.
To exclude this from the sum total of the priory's income was a mere piece of trickery to bring this house within those that were to be suppressed in 1536, and which were bound to have a less income than £200.

On the Dissolution of the Priory, Henry Jernegan of Somerleyton, the first lay lord of the manor, erected his Tudor Mansion on the site, linking the old Kitchen Court of the Priory on the West with the south gable end of the barn on the East.

 The History of Lathom
Those manors played a key role in a defensive system of land tenure originally set up by King Athelstan in the tenth century to protect the emerging kingdom of England from the Norsemen of Dublin and York.
As early as 1189, when Robert Fitzhenry de Lathom founded Burscough Priory, the importance of the manor is borne out by evidence that the de Lathom family possessed lands throughout southern Lancashire, extending as far afield as Flixton in the barony of Manchester.
Two generations later Robert’s grandson, another Robert, was knighted by Henry III and twice became Sheriff of Lancashire.
