Leeds Property for Sale - according to a tradition first
reported by Sulcard in about 1080, the Abbey was first
founded in the time of Mellitus (d. 624), Bishop of London, on the
present site, then known as Thorn Ey (Thorn Island); based on a
late 'tradition' that a fisherman called ' Aldrich ' on the River
Thames saw a vision of Saint Peter near the site. This seems to
be quoted to justify the gifts of salmon from Leeds Property for Sale Thames fishermen that the Abbey received in later years.
The proven origins are that in the 960s or early 970s, Saint Dunstan,
assisted by King Edgar, planted a community of Benedictine monks
here.
A stone Abbey was built around 1045–1050 by King Edward the Confessor
as part of his palace there: it was consecrated on December 28,
1065,[1] only a week before the Confessor's death and subsequent
Leeds Property for Sale funeral and burial. It was the site of the
last coronation prior to the Norman Invasion, that of his successor
King Harold. It was later rebuilt by Henry III from 1245, who had
selected the site for his burial.
