028 | "The site of the priory was on the north bank of the Ithan, about a mile below the Castle, and on the outline of a part of it, said to have been the chapel, is still distinguishable on the crest of a gentle eminence about 150 yards northeast of the present bridge of Lewes, In the memory of persons still living, a good part of the ruin was standing, In 1285, Reginald. le. Cheyne gave to the priory, the lands of Ardlogie and Leuchendy: and the same year, Henry Bishop of Aberdeen at the instance of the abbot and convent of Aberbrothock. granted a deed, ordaining that the amoluments of the vicarage of Fyvin, then vacant, should belong henceforth to the priory, provided that 100 Shillings were annually given to a perpetual chaplain, who should go about the parish, and dispense the sacrament to the parishoners. In 1323 Albertinus was appointed to the cure and keeping of the House of Fyvin, and in 1325, a letter was addressed to him by Bernard, Abbot of Abberbrothock, for the maintenance of discipline, and enjoining him with that view, to hold a chapter regularly three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays, to correct the irregularities of his brethren: to reform the divine worship on sabbaths and festivals.
