Winchcombe Annals

The Winchcombe Annals or sometimes Later Winchcombe Annals are a chronicle compiled c. 1240 by an anonymous monk at the Benedictine abbey, Winchcombe Abbey.[1]

The manuscript is damaged and only the portion from 1049 to 1232 remain although it was a longer document. The source material up to 1181 is from the Winchcombe Chronicle and from thereon from another annal. The manuscript also holds pictorial representation of a sun dial,[2] and the twelve winds of Aristotle.[3]

It is currently in Bodleian Library at BL, Cotton Faustina B.i, fol. 12r–29v.
