The first reports of the abbey are based on a late tradition claiming that a young fisherman called Aldrich on the River Thames saw a vision of Saint Peter near the site. This seems to be quoted to justify the gifts of salmon from Thames fishermen that the abbey received in later years. In the present era, the Fishmonger's Company still gives a salmon every year. The proven origins are that in the 960s or early 970s, Saint Dunstan, assisted by King Edgar, installed a community of Benedictine monks here.
What was the name of the fisherman in lore that saw a vision of Saint Peter near the Abbey? What type of fish did the Abbey receive from Thames fisherman? What kind of monks lived at the Abbey? Who, till this day still gives the Abbey a fish? Who along with the King Edgar established the monks at the Abbey? Who supposedly had a vison of Saint Peter on the River Thames? Who first gifted salmon to the abbey? Who still gives salmon to the abbey today? When was the monk community installed?
