Event detail for site: Pillc. 1190: FoundationThere is much uncertainty about the date of foundation. While some argue that the house was founded as early as 1113 x 1115 others consider the mid-late twelfth century as more likely and perhaps as late as c. 1200. The original foundation charter survives as a late thirteenth-century inspeximus of Edward I (1294-1295).
