monastery, interesting place, Grade I Listed (UK), historic ruins

St Mary's Priory was founded in 1216 by Margery de Cressy and was dissolved in 1536. The church and part of the cloisters are in ruins, whilst a monastic building survives having been converted into a house during the 16th to 19th centuries. Two fishponds remain and may once have been larger. The priory ruins are visible on aerial photographs, as are a medieval barn that was demolished in 1981 and earthworks that were probably associated with the priory. The earthworks include a possible hollow way, banks, ditches and ridge and furrow.
