 Houses of Augustinian canons: Abbey of Haughmond | British History Online
Haughmond Abbey had the good fortune to enjoy the protection of powerful local lords throughout the Middle Ages: it was firmly rooted in the neighbourhood.
Many were in partially settled regions, where the canons rapidly secured the right to appropriate the waste, sometimes fencing it for their stock and sometimes leasing plots to tenants, who built houses and brought land under the plough with the minimum capital outlay on the part of the canons and with a steadily increasing rent-roll.
The abbey's cartulary contains ordinances for this chantry, including provisions for the appointment and payment of the canon who was to serve it, and for celebrating the anniversary of John and Jacinta Lestrange after their deaths with the same solemnity as the anniversary of the founder of the house.

 Primary History - Dissolution of the Monasteries: Haughmond Abbey - Lessons - primaryhistory
The history topic for the summer term was the Tudors, and together with this we aimed to develop a Local History Study, based on the effect of the Reformation and the dissolution of the monasteries on Haughmond Abbey in Shropshire.
History was to have extended teaching time through using the literacy hour to focus on reading and then to apply this to an historical context - a bit of an experiment to provide a possible model for this to happen across the rest of the school.
I set out to create a series of teaching and learning experiences that would offer me an opportunity to explore the possibilities for developing the local history unit scheme of work and to make this particular area of historical research a meaningful and stimulating experience for both myself and the children.
