About this book
The Dissolution of the Monasteries, as illustrated by the suppression of the religious houses of Staffordshire, is by Francis Aidan Hibbert, M.A. The preface says that there are few references to books on the general subject of the Suppression, and that the study is concerned with the County of Staffordshire alone. The text says that for each county an Auditor and Receiver was to be appointed, with one of the clerks of the late visitation, and that three other discreet persons were to be named by the King.
The text says that the persons so named were to visit each condemned house and exhibit the Statute of Dissolution to the head and his brethren. The text says that the Priory was dependent on Haughmond Abbey in Shropshire, to which it made an annual payment, and that the Prior of Haughmond was supposed to visit Ronton every year, but no effective control was exercised.
