 At the battle of Neville's Cross, in 1346, this precious relic fell into the hands of the English, and it was placed in Durham Cathedral, from where it disappeared at the Reformation.The abbey was originally served by a community of Augustinian Canons Regular from Merton Priory.The layout of the original church at Holyrood, now known only from excavations, probably came from the 1125 church at the priory.
