How about this: ‘‘…..a visitation of Wellow Abbey in 1287. The house was found to be in financial difficulties, due partly to the murrain,[a disease of sheep and cattle,] and partly to inefficient administration, while quarrels among the bretheren were exacerbated by the unlawful entry of gossiping women into the precincts and by the indiscretions of the abbot’s servant, Alan ‘commonly named “Girl” because he is too free with his tongue’!!!
