The 12th century St Leonard's Priory in Stamford - perhaps founded on a Saxon monastery site. The Gothic west front was partly rebuilt in the 'Gothick'-loving 1830s @MedievalWorld @Medievalists @ULHistory @SelbyWhit @LincolnMedieval

I am looking for medieval (1000-1500) letter collections from western Europe (England, France, Germany and adjacent regions), with at least 50 letters, if possible 100 or more, possibly related to one person or family. Any suggestions?
