Page "Looe Island" Paragraph 5

In the later Medieval period, the island came under the control of Glastonbury Abbey.

Lammana Priory was a priory on the island consisting of two Benedictine monks until 1289.

It was owned by Glastonbury Abbey and the property was sold in 1289 to a local landowner.

The priory was replaced by a chapel served by a secular priest until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536 when it became property of the Crown.
