More about this scene
Properly titled Bromholm Priory, this was a Cluniac priory, founded in 1113 by William de Glanville. It was well known that the priory had a miraculous section of the True Cross, and a popular exclamation in 14th- and 15th-century texts was 'Oh, Holy Rood of Bromholm!' The religious house fell at the Dissolution in 1536, and only a few ruins hint at its glory today.
