In 1488 Redman visited on 14 July, when John Hey was abbot and Thomas Raypose prior, with ten other canons, including ex-abbot Ingram. He formally excommunicated John Newton as an apostate and a sower of discord. The abbot was ordered to provide properly for the canons, not to correct them before seculars, and to observe certain rules in their admission to the monastery. The canons were not to go out of the monastery without leave of the abbot, nor to play games for money, dice and cards being especially forbidden. The house was in moderately good state considering the ruin and waste made by the late abbot, whose debt of £212 had been diminished by £60.
In 1491 he visited on 9 October and found agreement between the abbot and convent and no complaints. The monastery needed great repairs, but the new abbot had already set about them and the debt was now reduced to 28 marks. John Newynton, the late apostate, was now abbot and William Kyrkby sub-prior, with the ex-abbot Ingram Francys and five other canons.
At the next visitation on 28 June, 1494, one of the canons who had been detected in apostasy and, what was worse, in wearing secular dress, submitted himself, and after explanations and at the intercession of the abbot his punishment was left over till the provincial chapter. The abbot and convent were charged to observe the customs of the order properly, and Thomas Haut was appointed sub-prior. The debt was now £20, but the supply of corn and animals was sufficient. John Newynton was still abbot, with nine other canons, of whom two were novices.
The number of the canons was the same in 1497, but three are described as apostate. The bishop visited on 14 October, and found great dissensions between the abbot and convent—so great that he could not discuss them, and adjourned the settlement until the provincial chapter. In the meantime he charged all to live in harmony and the abbot to increase the number of the canons and make repairs to the monastery. The debt amounted to £10, and the provision of corn and animals was sufficient.
Matters had only grown worse when Redman made his next (and last recorded) visitation on 3 October, 1500. John Newton was still abbot, with Edmund Norwich as sub-prior, and nine other canons, three of them novices. The convent charged the abbot with frequenting taverns on Sundays and feast-days, and with bad language and incontinence; and the visitor ordered him to repair the whole monastery, which was visibly ruinous, to cease frequenting taverns and other assemblies of laymen except at proper times, and to apply himself to his office. He admitted a debt of £30, but the supply of corn and animals was sufficient. It is significant that the next abbot appears to have come from Bayham.
St. Radegund's was marked for visitation by Thomas Wilkinson, abbot of Welbeck, on 2 October, 1506, but the result is not preserved.
