The Premonstratensians (White Canons) |
|
| Coming from France to England in 1143, the first Premonstratensian house was at Newham. Eventually there were 31 and their remains can be found today at Dryburgh, Easby, Egglestone and Titchfield. They were very like the Cistercians in the way they lived and worked. They wore a long white cloak and hood over a white cassock, with a white cap (biretta). |
