Following the establishment of the bishopric of Ely in 1109, the episcopal abbot ceded responsibility for governing the cathedral priory to the prior (see the Introduction, 'Historical Background: Religious Institutions'; also TNA: E 135/22/25). The priory records, especially accounts, are now mostly held in a large number of collections at The National Archives (TNA: SC6/1257/4–9), although the bailiff's accounts of Stuntney Manor are in the Cambridgeshire Archives (283/M/2/6/7), and a register of Ely Priory can be found in the Wyndham family collection at the British Library (Add MSS 41612–17, 41667G, 69824A–B).
