This article analyses the importance of saints associated with the Anglo-Saxon period monastery at Whitby for the identity and status of the later Benedictine abbey there. Using a wide range of documentary, architectural, artefactual, archaeological, and liturgical evidence, it is argued that the monks used the relics and cults of Anglo-Saxon saints, especially Hilda and Begu, to confer legitimacy upon and identity to their abbey. Appendices provide a translation of and a synthesis of the main liturgical sources.

This article outlines recent work to edit the thirteenth-century cartulary of the Cistercian abbey of Kirkstead, Lincolnshire, and highlights the manuscript’s potential as a case study for deeper understandings of cartulary compilation. Adopting new approaches to cartulary studies, it outlines the striking method and circumstances of the cartulary’s compilation in 1259–1260 and its extensive additions c. 1310. Instead of beginning a codex from scratch, a compiler-scribe drew together and radically expanded a suite of cartulary sections already begun in earlier decades by multiple scribes. The article also examines in depth the specific landscape and patronal contexts which catalysed archival rationalization and what this reveals about the abbey’s interaction with its locale. The cartulary confirms hunting as a major influence on Kirkstead’s development, though not in a typically combative way as evidenced elsewhere and reveals the abbey’s important part in the evolution of Tattershall Chase. The case of Kirkstead indicates how the evolution of a Cistercian landscape proceeded in lockstep with the development of its archive and how cartularization was a process rather than a moment in a house’s archival history.
