medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture At the time of the Dissolution, according to the Ministers' Accounts, the priory of Monmouth (in south Wales but in the diocese of Hereford) was providing board and lodging for the curates serving the parish altar in the monastic church and the chapel of St Thomas Overmonnow. (This rather contradicted the claim of Cromwell's visitor a year earlier that there was neither pot nor pan nor bed in the house and the one monk was in lodgings in the town.)
