Peters, Bath; and their residence, an edifice of 1499, with a porch added in the time of Charles I., is still standing. The living is a p. curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Batheaston, in the diocese of Bath and Wells. The church was built about the same time as the abbots' residence; and contains a carved pulpit, a Norman font, and an altar-tomb of 1631.
