Richard Bromsgrove

He was elected Abbot of Evesham when infirmarer of the abbey, on 6 December 1418, and was consecrated in Bengeworth church by Bishop Barrow, of Bangor, who in the year previous had been Chancellor of Oxford.

He died on 10 May 1435, after holding the abbacy for seventeen years, and was buried before the high altar in St. Mary's chapel in the abbey church.

It contains articles for the reformation of monasteries which were proposed by Henry V in 1421, with modifications suggested by various abbots.

It appears from this register (f. 32) that he wrote a tract, 'De fraterna correctione canonice exercenda.'

A transcript of the register exists amongst the collections of James West in Lansdowne MS. 227, British Museum.
