WalthamAbbey, or Holy Cross, is in the half-hundred of Waltham, 12 miles from London, a little to the right of the road to Ware, Royston, and Huntingdon.
In the reign of Henry II (A.D. 1177) regular canons were substituted for seculars, the number enlarged to 16, the endowments of the establishment augmented, and the dignity of abbot conferred upon the head of it.
The yearly revenues of the abbey at the dissolution were £1,079, 12 shillings and 1 penny gross, or £900, 4 shillings and 3 pence clear.
