List of possessions of the abbey of Marmoutier de Tours explained
Until the French Revolution, the abbey of Marmoutier owned numerous estates in France, as well as in England. A list drawn up in the 17th century shows almost 200 dependencies, including five in England. The vast majority of these were priories, but the monks of Marmoutier also owned farms and mills close to their abbey, to ensure supplies.
