It is often said that the monasteries were the great supporters of the poor, and fed them in times of scarcity. It may be so, but I should like to see the evidence for the statement. Certainly the monasteries did not return less than they expended in alms. Alban's men to Wat Tyler, who are said to have slandered the abbey "de retentione stipendiorum pauperum." The parsons were needy themselves.
