"Bradenstoke acquired the Manor of Tockenham between 1232 and 1265 by grant of Thomas de Tockenham, its Lord. The Priory was founded in 1142 and although the Royal Charters of 1207 and 1232 confirmed no property here, the Priory had built a mill in Tockenham, to the detriment of a certain free tenant, between 1189 and 1194."

"The Priory of Bradenstoke, dedicated to The Virgin Mary, and was the House of the Augustinian Canons, was situated in the parish of Lyneham, near the village of Bradenstoke-cum-Clack. It stood on one of the highest ranges of land overlooking the Avon Valley, which commanded a fine view over an extensive tract of country into Somersetshire and North Wiltshire. It was also known as Clack Abbey, being a short distance from the village of Clack, about seven miles from Chippenham and four miles from Wotton Basset."

"In 1262, Henry de Bainton (Bayntun) and his wife Joan, gave the Augustinian Priory of Bradenstoke, Wiltshire 31 and a half acres of arable, 1/4 acre of meadow, one messuage, a croft called Benecroft and a common of pasture in Tockenham. The Manor was worth £4 - 6s - 8d in 1291."
