	Syon Abbey and the bridgettine order
		The settlement at Syon had been granted an income of a thousand marks, to be drawn from the royal exchequer until the permanent endowments made to it should amount to that sum.
		This remained the position until the Abbey was dissolved in 1539 as part of Henry VIII's Reformation, It is not clear whether the Priory buildings were then destroyed or merely allowed to deteriorate by being used as a stone quarry.
		Syon is still renowned today for being a grand venue for entertaining, not only in the House, but also in the Great Conservatory, the showpiece of the Gardens, built by the 3rd Duke in the 1820s.

		Syon Abbey is unique as the only English religious community with an unbroken lineage and tradition dating back to its pre-Reformation foundations in 1415.
		At least two manuscripts are known to have belonged to Syon in the fifteenth century and as such they form a direct link between the Abbey's medieval origins and the twenty first century.
		For many years the nuns of Syon have helped scholars at their Abbey in South Brent, but their numbers are now few and they have placed their most precious manuscripts at Exeter to ensure they remain fully accessible to the research community.
