Summary

Possible Middle Saxon monastery or nunnery in Skendleby

Type and Period (1)

Protected Status/Designation

  • None recorded

Full Description

46355 Religious houses were recorded by Bede in the seventh century at Partney, and another as being 'near Partney', which it is suggested, due to later events there (see 46354), may have been located in Skendleby (see 46355). It is thought to have had a connection with Bardney Abbey. The monastery at Partney is thought not to have long survived the settlement of the Danish raiding army in 872-73, and therefore the religious house at Skendleby may have had a similar fate. {1}
