Edward III increased their holdings with the churches of Wollaston and Filgrave and also granted them the advowson of the church at Fyfield, Hampshire. Edward III is recorded as giving "Ten beams" towards the repair of the church in 1232 and another five oaks for work on the Refectory in 1258. It was one of only two Cluniac nunneries built in England (the other being at Arthington in Yorkshire); the Cluniac order was an order of the reformed Benedictines and fell under the rule of the great abbey at Cluny in Burgundy.
