Can anybody advise the exact site of Warenne's Cluniacist monastery in Lewes? My OS has short-changed me on others and this one looks no exception.
The OS shows the priory at Lewes, and the modern-day railway line from Brighton to Lewes runs through part of the priory's grounds.
The OS grid reference is TQ-413-096 if that helps.

Re: Heroes of The Norman Revolution
Stoggler,
Thanks.
Sammy,
L'Abbaye de Mortemer is the one I researched but the century is problematic.Bec is possible but not likely.I was thinking more in the way of a "Saint Gervais Priory"?
Dinsdale (personal capacity)

Re: Heroes of The Norman Revolution
Warenne and his wife Gundrada(daughter of Queen Mathilde according to some historians before or after her marriage to William the Conqueror) were buried on the original site which is easily accessible within a kilometre of the railway station in a well preserved park.The ruins are ear marked with a series of explanatory boards.None of them state (strangely in my view) that Warenne actually died in this location after being wounded at Pevensey in 1088.He and Gundrada are mentioned as being founders.
