The first is from the BL Medieval manuscripts blog itself and it can be seen at The mortuary roll of Lucy of Hedingham The roll is now part of the Egerton MSS and consequently a part of the permanent collection at the British Library.
I came upon that article having already seen a piece doubtless inspired by it on Faversham Life which is also handsomely illustrated and gives an idea of the roll with its many contributions from Benedictine monasteries across southern England. It can be seen at The Mortuary Roll of Lucy of Hedingham
The VCH Essex account of the priory can be seen at Houses of Benedictine nuns: Priory of Castle Hedingham
It would appear that Lucy was a daughter of the founders of the monastery, Aubrey and Lucy de Vere, Earl and Countess of Oxford, and that she thus belonged to one of the greater families of the country. Hedingham, or Castle Hedingham, was the caput of the de Vere estates, and is still dominated by the splendidly preserved keep of the castle, although little else survives above ground. The de Veres were a comital family from the twelfth century and Lords Great Chamberlain until the reign of King Charles II, when the main line failed. Their descendants include the present co-holders of the Lord Great Chamberlainship, as well as the de Vere-Beauclerks, Dukes of St Albans, and others besides - I knew a family of de Veres in Oxford.
The roll itself with its many contributions by other Benedictine houses is a fine example of monastic confraternity extended to a deceased prioress by other monks and nuns that doubtless most never met her or maybe even knew existed, but who was their sister in religion.
