Excerpt from The Last Ten Years of the Priory of S. Helen, Bishopsgate, in the City of London: With the Topography of That House Such details would, no doubt, be quite as voluminous as the intellect of such a reader could entertain; but other men, better and greater than he, are desirous of possessing something more really akin to the interest and importance of the subject. Mere skeleton histories of Religious Houses are already in the reader's hands, and the repetition of such, apart from being useless as a twice-told tale, would necessarily lose in value what it might gain in brevity. The particularity, then, of my information I hold to be its special excellence. Those only entertain a light opinion of such particularity "who are either indifferent to the subject itself, unconscious of their own deficiencies, or have an evil purpose to serve" in keeping others ignorant of the truth. To introduce the reader to what I am about to offer, a very few words are needful about the earlier history of the place. The Benedictine Priory of S. Helen, Bishopsgate, was founded about the year 1212. A Church had existed on the site of the present structure some time before the foundation of the Priory, and was granted to the Canons of S. Paul's by Ranulph, and Robert his son, as appears by an agreement given at length in Newcourt's Repertorium and the works of other writers. According to the terms of this instrument, which was made in the reign of Henry II, they were to retain it for their lives, at a rent of twelve pence a year, and were to appoint a third incumbent who should hold it after their decease, at a rent of two shillings a year, to the end of his life, after which event it was to determine to the Canons. On the death of these three parties, the Canons granted the right of patronage to William the son of William the Goldsmith. William obtained from Alard de Burnham, Dean of S. Paul's, permission to found a Priory for Nuns. This must have been not later tha.
