Early life

Little is known of John Hampton's early life. His death certificate states that he was born in 1810, but other evidence suggests 1806 or perhaps 1807; these latter figures are considered more likely. He undertook medical studies at Edinburgh, graduating with a diploma of medicine in September 1828. He was appointed an assistant naval surgeon with the Britannia, but shortly afterwards was transferred to the Sphinx. In 1832 he was attached to the Plymouth dockyards, where he worked to prevent the spread of cholera. He later served on the Savage, the Firebrand and finally the Portland. In December 1834 he was promoted to full surgeon, and in March 1843 became surgeon-superintendent. Between 1841 and 1845, Hampton was surgeon-superintendent on a series of convict ships to Van Diemen's Land: the Mexborough, the Constant and the Sir George Seymour.

Abbots of Shrewsbury

The recorded Abbots of Shrewsbury run from c 1087, a scant seven years from the monastery's founding to 1540, its dissolution under Thomas Cromwell.

The abbots were mostly monks of the abbey, the first two (Fulchred and Godfred), founder monks, were Norman, the remainder English.

Fulchred c 1087 - c.1115/9

Fulchred was one of the founding colony brought from Séez in 1083 by Roger de Montgomerie, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury. The abbey by the time of his installation, around 1087, was complete enough to house a monastic community. John Stow, Tudor historian, states he was a son of the Earl Roger.

Godfred or Godfrey c 1115/9 - 1128

Godfred, also from Séez, had a reputation as a preacher. Henry I granted, during Godfred's abbacy, the Sanctum Prisca writ, of 1121, which confirmed the abbey's rights and possessions, as held under Fulchred, and awarded the Abbey the rights to all multure, the fees charged by mill owners for grinding corn, in Shrewsbury. This reinforced the earlier grant of mills by Earl Roger.
