List of abbots?

I came here expecting to find one, on the page or via a link. Charles Matthews (talk) 20:22, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

I have added a link to a list on British History Online. Dudley Miles (talk) 21:01, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Cobham

The reference to Ewell and "Henry Lord Cobham" is problematic. Ewell is clearly drawing on Hasted's county history (Edward Hasted (1801). "The abbey of St Augustine: Abbots". The History and Topographical Survey of the County of Kent: Volume 12. Institute of Historical Research. Retrieved 05 August 2014. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |accessdate= (help)). Which says:

[Elizabeth] had, some years before, on July 7, in her 6th year, anno 1564, granted it to Henry, lord Cobham, on whose attainder, in 1603, it was granted by letters patent, March 27, anno 3 James I. to Robert Cecil, lord Essenden, viscount Cranbourne, afterwards earl of Salisbury.

Henry Brooke, 11th Baron Cobham was not even born until some months after that, according to the date of birth in that article. The grant may have been to his father, William Brooke, 10th Baron Cobham. Or to his uncle Sir Henry Cobham, as the article is now implying. But then it is not obvious why it passed to the 11th Baron.

List of abbots

I have added citation needed to the list. There is an inline source, but I have not converted it to a citation as an edit comment also cites an unspecified ODNB page, so citing one source would be misleading. Dudley Miles (talk) 09:13, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
