Queen Elizabeth’s object appears to have been to prove that the Priory of Preen was independent of Wenlock, and that the Prior of Wenlock had no right to sell it to Coverte in 1536, three years before the dissolution of Wenlock. William Doughty of Burton, husbandman, aged eighty, says (giving evidence for the defendant): “Preen was a cell of Much Wenlock. Don John Castle was placed and appointed by the Prior of Much Wenlock to serve and say service at Preen, and was then called the Prior of Preens. That he that was there placed by the Prior of Much Wenlock was under the government, controlment and correction of the said Prior, and was by him called, punished and corrected for his misdemeanours. That he hath heard by credible report that the cell of Preen was a very cell and member of the Priory of Much Wenlock.” (The History of Church Preen: In the County of Salop, by Arthur Sparrow)
