#Gilbert Foliot# (1139-1148), a Cluniac monk, who, owing his position to his relative Milo, Earl of Hereford, was consecrated in 1139. He was made Bishop of Hereford in 1148, and was translated thence to London. Though he owed much to Becket, his patron and tutor, he is said to have taken the king's side in the quarrels with Becket, and to have been instrumental in the latter's assassination. #Hameline# or #Hammeline# (1148-1179). #Thomas Carbonel# (1179-1205). #Henry Blond# (or #Blunt#) (1205-1224). Henry III. was crowned in the Abbey in 1216. #Thomas de Bredon# (or #Bredone#) (1224-1228). #Henry Foliot# (or #Foleth#) was Abbot from 1228-1243. #Walter de St. John# died before his installation. #John de Felda# (1243-1263). #Reginald de Hamme# (or #Homme#) (1263-1283). #John de Gamages# (1284-1306). #John Thokey# (or #Toky#) (1306-1329). #John Wygmore# (or #Wygemore#) (1329-1337). #Adam de Staunton# (1337-1351). #Thomas Horton# (1357-1377). #John Boyfield# (1377-1381). #Walter Froucester# (1381-1412). The succession of Abbots, and the dates of various works executed since Serlo's time, are taken entirely from the particulars in the Chronicles "attributed" to Abbot Froucester (1381-1412), who wrote of the Abbey and of twenty Abbots after the Conquest. These Chronicles are the sole foundation up to that date on which all the histories have been made. There are three copies of them, one in the British Museum, one in Queen's College, Oxford, and one in the Chapter Library, which latter was lost for many years, and ultimately heard of again in 1878 as being in the possession of a book-seller at Berlin, from whom it was rescued on a payment of L150 by the Dean and Chapter. #Hugh Moreton# (1412-1420). #John Morwent# (or #Marewent#) (1421-1437). #Reginald Boulers# (#Boulars# or #Butler#) (#Boteler#) (1437-1450). He became Bishop of Hereford and was translated to Lichfield in 1453. #Thomas Seabroke# (1450-1457). #Richard Hanley# (1457-1472). He began to build the Lady Chapel, which was finished by #William Farley# (1472-1498). #John Malvern# or #Mulverne# was Abbot for one year (1498-1499), and was succeeded by a monk named #Thomas Braunche# (1500-1510), who in turn was succeeded by #John Newton# or #Browne, D.D.# (1510-1514). #William Malverne# or #Parker# (1514-1539). Parker wrote a Rhythmical History of St. Peter's Abbey, which was reprinted in the appendix of Hearne's "Robert of Gloucester's Chronicle." It was compiled from local records extending up to the time of Abbot Horton.
