In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Buckland Sororum like this:
BUCKLAND-SORORUM, or B. Minchin, a locality in Durston parish, Somerset; 4½ miles W of Taunton. A house of regular canons was founded here, in 1167, by William de Erleigh; but soon suppressed. The property of it was given, in 1180, to the Knights Hospitallers. A nunnery and a preceptory succeeded the monastery; and the former consisted at first of the sisters of the Knights Hospitallers, but afterwards was separated from them and became Augustinian. The property was given, at the dissolution, to Alexander Popham and William Halley.
