91, the priory was valued at £3 19s. 7½d. a year, with the churches of Gresley and Lullington both valued at £5 6s. 8d. a year.

14th Century
By the 14th century the priory appears to have fallen on hard times: Having in 1310, upon payment of a fine, been granted the Mortmain of the Church of Lullington, they repeatedly appealed to the Bishop for his sanction to dispose of the church; the Priory's canons arguing that, due to their small number and the "barrenness" of their lands, that they were struggling to support both themselves and the church. It was not, however, until 1339 that Roger Northburgh, Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, sanctioned the mortmain; he, however, demanded in return that the priors pay a pension of 2 Marks a year to the vicars at Lichfield Cathedral, and that the Prior and all his successors should travel to the Chapter House of the Cathedral within 6 days of their election in-order to "take an oath on the Gospels as to the faithful payment of the pension".
The correspondence between the Priory and Bishop reveal that at the time there were only four "brethren" at the priory.

In June 1313, Bishop Walter Langton visited the priory and subsequently ordered that licences and pensions were not to be granted from the Priory without episcopal licence, and that no women were to be allowed within the monastery bounds. The cause of this action is unclear and open to debate: had there been some discrepancies in the priory's financial affairs? Were there reports of improper behavior between the canons and visiting women? Was this a response to the priories requests for the Mortmain? Or was this simply a standard action taken by the Bishop?

In 1363, Sir John de Gresley, gave the priory properties and land at Heathcote, Church Gresley, Castle Gresley, and Lullington, which were valued at £10 per annum; these properties and land would then pass to the priory fully on the death of their tenants.

It was not, however, until 1339 that Roger Northburgh, Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, sanctioned the dead hand; he, however, demanded in return that the priors pay up a pension of 2 Marks a year to the vicar at Lichfield Cathedral, and that the Prior and all his successors should travel to the Chapter House of the Cathedral within 6 day of their election in - order to " take an oath on the Gospels as to the faithful payment of the pension ".
