Description

The Priory is a small single-storey building with 16th-century stonework, located in Warwick. Most of the original structure was taken down in 1926 and moved to America for re-erection. The entrance features a "Tudor" shaped arch, and to the left is a large six-light transomed and mullioned stone bay window. Other windows are similar in design, although the two on the right side are modern replacements. To the west is a two-storey block made of 17th-century brickwork, which includes dark headers, a stone plinth, and stone quoins. The gables on the east, south, and west sides are topped with stone copings and finials, and there are modern or restored brick chimney stacks and casements. Both buildings have modern leaded lights and attractive roofs made of old tiles. Remnants of the foundation walls from the main building, which has been removed, can be found to the east. The Tudor mansion was built on the site of the medieval Priory of St Sepulchre, founded in the early 12th century. The Priory, along with the Stable Wall and Ruined Wall to the northeast, form a group.
