was captured and
imprisoned by King John in 1210 when
attempting to flee from Ireland with
her mother. Annora was released in
October 1214, the year her husband
succeeded to his lands. When he died in
1227 the king allowed her to keep an
income of 100 shillings from land in
Charlton and Cherrington, parts of the
manor of Tetbury, to maintain her as a
recluse.
The Church Guide of St. Mary's Iffley alludes to a
mysterious person called Annora, the anchoress, who
lived for nine years enclosed in a cell beside the church
in the thirteenth century. An anchoress is a recluse -
someone who lives apart from other people.
