Malling

Apud Mallinges fecit duas Abbatissas; & mox obierunt. Nec remanserunt ibidem nisi iv. Professae & quatuor non professae Moniales; de quibus Episcopus uni spiritualia alteri temporalia custodienda commisit, quia non inveniebatur sufficiens persona ad officium Abbatissae.

At Mallinges he installed two abbesses, and both soon died. Only four professed nuns and four who had not yet taken their vows were left there. The bishop put one of them in charge of spiritual matters and another in charge of property, because no one fit to be abbess could be found.

Episcopus Roffensis Abbatias & Monasteria de Liesnes & Mallyng visitans, invenit ea ita destructa per malam diutinam custodiam; quòd durante isto saeculo usque ad diem judicii creditur ea non posse reparari.

The Bishop of Rochester visited the abbeys of Liesnes and Mallyng. He found them so ruined by years of bad management that people believed they could not be restored in this world, not before Judgment Day.
