The History of Hyde Abbey. Next to the Cathedral Church of Winchester, the Abbey of Hyde deserves an especial remembrance, on account of its being originally founded within the precincts of the cathedral cemitery, where it continued for 200 years, till it was from thence transplanted to Hyde. The first denomination this monastery had, was Newminster, to distinguish it from the cathedral called in those days Oldminster after the building of this; which name it lost on its removal, which was occasioned by the differences the too near neighbourhood these great churches bred. This foundation was begun by King Edward the elder, in pursuance of his father King Alfred's will, in which at the finishing and consecration of the same, anno 903, he placed secular canons, designing to appoint S. Grimbald to preside over them, but his death prevented it. These, after 60 years continuance, were turned out to give place to monks, anno 964, by Athelwold, Bishop of Winchester, and the college changed into a monastery; the abbots of which stiled of Newminster, before the translation of it to Hyde, as before observed, (which was done by King Henry I. and William Giffard, Bishop of Winchester) had large privileges, as being honoured with a mitre, and having place in parliament as peers of the realm, &c. Neither were their revenues less considerable, for a little before the dissolution, anno 26. Hen. VIII. the lands of this monastery were rated at £865. 18s. per annum. -But besides the founder, King Athelsan, King Edmund, King Edred, King Edgar, King Edmund Ironside, King Edward the Confessor, King William the Conqueror, and particularly King Henry I. and Q. Maud, (as appears by the charters in the Monasticon) were great benefactors. However, this house was not without its misfortunes; for William the Conqueror at his coming, finding the abbot and twelve of his monks in arms against him, seized upon their estate, and held it above two years; and in the reign of King Stephen, Henry de Blois his brother, then Bishop of Winchester, was so oppressive, that he got from the monks almost all their church plate, and dispersed them so, that of 40 monks there remained but ten. |
