Description
The remains of a tower and walls from a monastic church are located approximately 80 metres south of Priory Farmhouse. The structure includes the northeast corner of the tower, which is almost at its original height, and the chancel arch. The materials used are squared and coursed sandstone. The chancel arch features a two-centred design with hollow and roll moulded orders. Only parts of the north and south transept arches remain, each with three mouldings on each face that die into the pier. Above the chancel arch, there is a round-headed opening, and the gable of the chancel roof can be seen in the east wall of the tower.
This site was originally the central crossing tower of the priory church founded in 1336 by William de Clinton, Earl of Huntingdon, and was consecrated in 1342. It is designated as a scheduled monument.
