History
Originally founded at Ottham by father and daughter Raoul de Dane and Ela de Sackville (or Saukville), the Premonstratensian community moved shortly after to Bayham. The Sackville family remained major benefactors of the abbey over the years. The monastic complex underwent expansion in the 15th century. <br /><br />Bayham Abbey was suppressed at the Reformation. Partial ruins of the monastic complex survive today.

History
This community was founded at Parndon Magna by one Roger, and then transferred to Beeleigh ca. 1180 by Robert de Mantel, lord of Little Maldon. In the Middle Ages, Beeleigh was a pilgrimage site as it housed relics associated with Roger Niger, a 13th-century bishop of London. <br /><br />Following the Dissolution, the buildings were used for a time as a public house. Beeleigh underwent a restoration from the 1910s, and is now a private residence. The site was partly excavated 2000-2006.

History
Blackwose was initially founded as a dependent community of Lavendon before 1158, perhaps by Geoffrey de Mandeville, lord of Saltwood. As a result of scandal, Blackwose was transferred to the abbey of Bradsole shortly after 1203/04 as a result of this. <br /><br />Damaged during the invasion of 1216, the priory was restored but later became a grange. It was dissolved ca. 1377. Nothing remains at the site today.

History
The abbey was founded in 1193 by Hugh, who would become Bradsole's first abbot. Its first brothers came from Prémontré.<br /><br />While the abbey was active in local affairs, Bradsole was never a wealthy community. Bradsole was suppressed during the Reformation and the property passed into private hands. In 1880, the site was partly excavated. The abbey's gatehouse is still extant.

History
The short-lived community at Brockley was founded by Juliana de Vere, countess of Norfolk ca. 1182. The brothers soon transferred to Bayham. <br /><br />Brockley remained in the possession of Bayham as a monastic grange until 1526. No visible trace of the site remains; it was perhaps located near to the current church of St Peter's, Brockley.

Dates
Founded 12th c.; Augustinian from ca. 1220; dissolved 16th c.
History
Robert de Thurnham (father of the founder of Brockley Abbey) founded a Premonstratensian abbey at Combwell in the 12th century. It appears that the community's endowment was too small to maintain it as an abbey and in the early thirteenth century it was reduced to the status of a priory. <br /><br />From ca. 1220, Combwell was an Augustinian house. Following the Reformation, the property passed into private hands, and a later manor house now stands on the site.

Great Parndon was founded by 1172, and was endowed at its establishment of Roger of Parndon and Ralph de Marci of Laver. It was a short-lived community, with the brothers soon moving to Beeleigh Abbey, Maldon. <br /><br />Nothing remains at the site traditionally said to have been home to the abbey, which is now a golf course.
