The Victoria County History (Leicestershire, vol. 2, 1954) notes: "The Priory of Grace Dieu at Belton was founded by Rose de Verdon for Austin [Augustinian?] nuns between 1235 [...] and 1241 [...] The priory was finally surrendered in October 1538. (fn. 20) An inventory of the convent's possessions, taken immediately after the surrender, shows that to the end some of the priory's land was being farmed under the direct control of the nuns. The same inventory mentions the church, cloister, and chapter house, with other buildings."
