Well, we have to include this one. The Premenstrualtensions were Augustinians of a sort, anyway.
VCH Kent says: "The abbey of St. Mary and St. Thomas the
Martyr, Langdon, was founded by William de
Aubervilla and colonized from the abbey of
Leiston in Suffolk. The founder, by a charter
which is witnessed by Hubert, bishop-elect of
Salisbury, and must therefore belong to the year
1189, with the assent of Maud his wife and
his heirs, granted all his town of Langdon for
the making of a Premonstratensian abbey by
Robert, abbot of Leiston, and gave to it the
churches of Langdon, Walmer, Oxney, and
Lydden, for the soul of Henry II and the souls
of William his son, Emma his daughter, Hugh
his father, and Wymarc his mother, and Ranulph
de Glanvilla and Berta his wife. The phrasing
seems to indicate that Henry II was then dead,
and in that case the date of the foundation must
lie between 6 July and 22 October, when Bishop
Hubert was consecrated."
The seal is from the late 13th century, and is now in the British Museum.
And here is the BVM and Child:
And on the other side, the murder of Thomas Becket.
