    The book seems to have belonged to Westacre, an Augustinian priory

in Norfolk.  The prominence given to SS. Augustine and Edmund (and

the occurrence of Withburga) point to an East  Anglian house of the Augustinian

order, and the fortunate accident of the name of  Westacre being found on the

flyleaf seems to me to fix the matter pretty definitely.
