Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults
The Tironensians
Another sect of French origin (near Chartres), this group was another reform of Benedictinism, named for their use of tirones (apprentices, similar to the Cistercian 'conversi'). There were 5 priories in England, St. Dogmael's, in Wales, being pre-eminent. Modern remains can be seen at St. Dogmael's and at Caldey (an island off the southwestern tip of Wales).
