The Close, Exeter.
_Abbot Eustacius_ (Vol. iii., p. 141.).--As J. L.'s inquiry after an abbot
of that name has hitherto been unsuccessful, perhaps he would like to know
that Eustacia was abbess of the monastery at Shaftesbury (founded by King
Alfred), tempore incerto, but probably in the time of Stephen. See Willis's
_History of Abbeys_, and a _History of the Ancient Town of Shaftesbury_, p.
21.
