The inventory made of the Priory's goods just beforehand suggest that the monks were living in straitened circumstances by that time (although that may be a fictional pretext for dissolution), but that some provision was still made for the entertainment of visitors to the town.
A review of the Priory's assets just before that time implies that the monks were facing economic hardship at the time (although this may have been a fabricated reason for their closure), yet some arrangements were still made to cater to the leisure needs of visitors to the town.
