The last abbey dissolved?
[edit]I have removed the claim that Hartland was the last abbey to be dissolved. This claim was cited only to the place's own literature, and is inconsistent both with List of monastic houses in Devon, which says it was dissolved on 21 February 1539 (though this is uncited; but Fountains Abbey, for example, was dissolved on 26th November 1539) and with Dissolution of the Monasteries#Later dissolutions, which says "The last two abbeys to be dissolved were Shap Abbey, in January 1540, and Waltham Abbey, on 23 March 1540". The latter is also not directly referenced, but Shap Abbey points to this, and Waltham Abbey cites an 1818 book available on Google books. --ColinFine (talk) 18:06, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
