		The abbey was founded in 1245 or 1246 by Richard, Earl of Cornwall, called "King of the Romans" and the younger brother of King Henry III of England.
		Hailes Abbey became a site of pilgrimage when Richard's son Edmund donated to the Cistercian community a phial of the Holy Blood, purchased in Germany, in 1270.
		Tewkesbury Abbey nearby avoided the fate of Hailes, because the parishioners of Tewkesbury bought it for a parish church.

		Although Richard of Cornwall was the wealthiest man of his day, the abbey failed to prosper until 1270 when his son, Edmund of Cornwall, presented the abbey with a phial containing the Precious Blood of Christ.

		Founded by Richard Earl of Cornwall, in honour of his life being spared by a tragedy at sea, a group of monks from Beaulieu Abbey formed the core of the small settlement at Hailes Abbey.

		The authenticity of this relic was later disputed, but throughout the remainder of the 13th century Hailes Abbey was noted as one of the great pilgrimage centres of England.

	Beaulieu Abbey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John's son and successor, King Henry III was equally generous to Beaulieu, with the result that the abbey became very wealthy, though it was far from the richest English Cistercian house.
		In 1535 the abbey's income was assessed in the Valor Ecclesiasticus, Henry VIII's great survey of church finances, at £428 gross, £326 net, which meant that it escaped being confiscated under the terms of the first Suppression Act, Henry's initial move in the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
		When the abbey was dissolved there was some debate about what to do with them, however, in the end it was decided, after pleading by the abbot and certain government officials, to allow the debtors to live in their houses on the abbey grounds permanently.

	Cotswold HyperGuide - Winchcombe
		The size and wealth of the abbey (it was one of the largest in England) and its importance as a place of pilgrimage was founded on a trifling little monkish fabrication.
		A monk of Winchcombe Abbey invented a story that Prince Kenelm of Mercia, who died in 811 as a young man, was murdered by the lover of his sister Quendreda, who wanted to be queen of Mercia.
		The dissolution of the abbeys throughout England in 1536 and 1538 may seem like an appalling act of destruction, but it was accomplished with remarkably little public outcry.

		He gave Haughley land and Haughley tithes to his new abbey, and from then until the abbey was dissolved (1539) the vicars of Haughley were appointed by Hailes Abbey.
		At the time the vicars of Haughley were appointed by the Abbot of Hailes (Gloucestershire), and (amongst many relics) Hailes claimed to own a fragment of the True Cross.
		(Hailes also claimed to possess a sample of Christ’s blood, but at the Reformation there was some correspondence about whether or not it was duck blood!) We do not know for certain that the South Aisle is the Holy Cross chapel, but it seems probable.
