History
Eeles' Frant
In 1524 twenty-one monastries were abolished, including Bayham … the monks resisted the Cardinal's writ and there were riotous scenes before the Abbey and its lands finally came into the hands of the Cardinal [Wolsey] in 1526.
In spite of local support, the great Cardinal had his way, and presently had obtained the possessions which were to yield him an income which to-day would be in the neighbourhood of £4,500 for the use of his colleges, of which that at Oxford was at the outset called Cardinal's and later King's College. On 10th May, 1526, he was given a grant of the various rectories belonging to Bayham in addition to the lands granted two years earlier. What happened to Bayham itself is disclosed in a lease of 1530, whereby the Dean and Canons of Cardinal's College, Oxford, let to William Wybarne the mansion of the Manor of Bayham and lands belonging thereto. It was at much about this time that Wolsey fell from power and his College at Ipswich was not proceeded with. In consequence, a large slice of the Bayham lands reverted to the Crown, and whilst temporary grants were made out of their emoluments, it was not until the reign of Queen Elizabeth that they were presented to a private individual. This was Anthony Browne Viscount Montague, who, although a Roman Catholic, was a great favourite of the Queen. To him was granted the Manor of Bayham [in circa 1580], and it would therefore appear that Cardinal's College had been forced to hand this over to the Crown at the death of its patron.
