The priory was founded in 1185 and dissolved in 1536. Above-ground remains include part of the church that was built soon after the foundation of the priory and part of the east cloister of the monastery. Cropmarks of other parts of the buildings, water management features and enclosures can be seen on aerial photographs. Fieldwalking, metal detecting and casual finds include a large number of medieval and post medieval objects. These include a medieval coffin containing a skeleton, a late medieval coin minted in Bologna, Italy between 1446 and 1506 and two medieval horse harness pendants. Both pendants depict the ceremonial arms of Robert de Ufford.
