Anne became abbess of Fontevraud in 1477. This was an abbey in which both monks and nuns lived, but was always ruled by an abbess. She continued the work of her predessecor Marie de Bretagne in reforming the order.
It is known that the Plantagenets were great benefactors of the mother abbey at Fontevraud in its early years and Henry's widow, Eleanor of Aquitaine, took up residence there. That monastery, founded in 1101, became the chosen mausoleum of the Angevin dynasty. More dynamically, it became the centre of a new monastic Order, the Order of Fontevrault.
The Fontevraud monastic reform had two notable distinguishing features. Firstly, it followed in part the model established by the highly influential and prestigious Cluny Abbey (which by the 12th century numbered more than a thousand monasteries.) in adopting a centralized form of government. While most Benedictine monasteries remained autonomous and associated with each other only loosely, Cluny created a federated structure in which the superiors of subsidiary houses effectively were deputies of the Abbot of Cluny, the head of the Order. These subsidiary houses were hence usually styled priories, not abbeys, governed therefore not by abbots but by priors, or more technically "obedientiary priors". The head of the Order of Fontevraud was the Abbess of Fontevraud. At the death about 1117 of the founder, Robert of Arbrissel, she already had under her rule 35 priories, and by the end of that century about 100, in France, Spain and England.

The party that Henry II then summoned from Fontevraud were in the end some 21 or 24 nuns, led not by the Abbess of Fontevraud but by a former subprioress. Some nuns were also brought from Westwood Priory, also a Fontevraud house. The new community was solemnly installed on 22 May in the King’s presence by the Archbishop of Canterbury, accompanied by several other bishops.
While the earlier Amesbury Abbey had been exclusively a nunnery or house of women, its successor, Amesbury Priory, following the particular structures of its parent Order of Fontevraud, was both a convent of nuns and a corresponding monastery of men, both governed locally by a prioress and ultimately by the Abbess of Fontevraud Abbey, situated in Anjou, part of the territories in what is now France that were then ruled by the English royal house.

The Royal Abbey of Our Lady of Fontevraud or Fontevrault (in French: "abbaye de Fontevraud") was a monastery in the village of Fontevraud-l'Abbaye, near Chinon, in Anjou, France. It was founded in 1101 by the itinerant preacher Robert of Arbrissel. The foundation flourished and became the center of a new monastic Order, the Order of Fontevrault. This order was composed of double monasteries, in which the community consisted of both men and women—in separate quarters of the abbey—all of which were subject to the authority of the Abbess of Fontevraud. The Abbey of Fontevraud itself consisted of four separate communities, all completely managed by the same abbess.

At Trethevy is St Piran's Chapel and there was formerly another Anglican chapel at Treknow. In the Middle Ages there was also a chapel of St Denys at Trevena: the annual fair was therefore celebrated in the week of his feast day (19 Oct). From 1925 until 2008 part of the Vicarage outbuildings were also in use as a chapel (the Fontevrault Chapel). The name commemorates the abbey in France which held the patronage of Tintagel during the Middle Ages (the commune is now known as Fontevraud-l'Abbaye), founded by Robert of Arbrissel.
