 It also shows that there was already some sort of special relationship between Black Ladies and Blithbury.The Blithbury nuns obtained land at Gailey in Penkridge parish around 1160, but this had passed to Black Ladies by 1189, when Henry II took it under royal control, leaving his son King John to compensate Black Ladies with the manor of Broome in 1200.Three years later, the prioress vindicated her claim to the advowson of the church at Broome.
