Humberston Abbey
Nichée dans le Lincolnshire, cette ancienne fondation bénédictine dédiée à sainte Marie et saint Pierre vit le jour en 1160 sous l'impulsion de Guillaume, fils de Raoul. En 1305, un violent incendie réduisit les bâtiments monastiques en cendres, contraignant les moines à mendier et à vendre leurs biens pour financer la reconstruction. Fait insolite, cet établissement échappa à la mainmise royale en évitant d'être répertorié comme une maison sous contrôle étranger, avant d'être finalement dissous en 1536.
