Priory vs. Abbey[edit]

The text says that the abbey was founded by Henry I, and established by a party of monks from Cluny. My understanding is that many abbeys were created on the Cluniac model and were controlled by the abbot of Cluny, and that these abbeys were technically called "Priory" rather than "Abbey". What was the status of Reading Abbey re Cluny? Did the abbot of Reading report directly to the abbot of Cluny? And if it was an abbey subservient to Cluny, should it have been technically called a Priory (obviously I do not question what it was actually called)? Or was this a special case?

Not sure if there is a place for this in the text, more a matter of curiosity. Revcasy (talk) 12:56, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

£3m? £8m? completed & reopened?[edit]

Clarification seems needed. There's mention of a £3m project, then (with a BBC citation) of £8m, then a go-ahead based on match-funding - and the figures provided, detailing the match funding, add up to the earlier £3m figure. And there's a June 2018 reopening with everything seemingly finished. So what's happening / happened about the other £5m? (Why was it thought to be needed??) - SquisherDa (talk) 05:32, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Abbey Mill, Reading in to Reading Abbey[edit]

I propose merging Abbey Mill, Reading in to Reading Abbey. The Abbey Mill article duplicates the section on the abbey mill in this article. I cannot find any significant coverage of the mill after the closure of the abbey so I think its best to merge it back here. Tim Landy (talk) 09:17, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
