Dear Anne and Sunny100, Could you please be a little clearer about what evidence you have for the claim that Breedon was '7th or 8th century'? Archaeologists haven't found any Anglo-Saxon remains, reporting that "No remains of the Saxon church survive in situ". The Pastscape site simply states "Mainly 13th century church incorporating remains of Mediaeval priory church of Breedon Priory."
The identification of Breedon as a 'Saxon monastery' relies entirely upon documentary evidence, as opposed to physical evidence. The earliest record that can be verified is the reference to a 12th century Augustinian priory, viz: "Circa 1109-22, the church was granted to Nostell Priory as an Augustinian Canonical Cell." There is, it is true, a land charter, S72, 'dated by scholars to 680', but it has been described as spurious by all the manuscript specialists http://www.esawyer.org.uk/charter/72.html
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
