Research Notes:
"Album Monasterium or Whitchurch, Shropshire, superseded the name Westune by which the place was known at the Domesday survey. Two examples need only be given of the use of the name Warenne by this family. In 1238 William de Warenne of Whitchurch (de Albo Monasterio) was summoned to Oxford (Close Rolls, 1237-42, p. 124); he was described as William de Albo Monasterio in 1242-43 (Bk. of Fees, p. 919). On 1 April 1246 William son and heir of William de Warenne of Whitchurch made a fine for 20 marks for his relief for the lands which he ought to hold of the heir of William formerly earl de Wareene, who was in the kg's custody (Exc. e Rot. Fin., i, 450); and in 1246-48 the description was Sir William de Blancmoster (Bk. of Fees, p. 1161)." [3]
