Katherine Palmer (died 15 December 1576) was abbess of Syon Abbey during its peregrination in the Netherlands.
In 1551, she and nine other members of her order travelled to Termonde, where she supervised an English convent on the grounds of Klooster Maria Troon [nl].
[1] During a short-lived return to England between 1566 and 1569, Palmer and twenty-four others were re-established at Syon Abbey by Cardinal Pole through a charter granted on 1 March 1557.
[1] On 8 May 1564, Palmer had Pope Pius IV recognise the continuity of her community from the initial foundation of Syon Abbey in 1415.
[1] This meant that Syon Abbey continued to exist as the same establishment through its subsequent peregrinations and retained access to all privileges that it had been granted since its foundation.
