Spinney Abbey

Spinney Abbey is a house dated 1775, located on or near the site of a 13th-century priory of Augustinian Canons. The building features a plan of two parallel gables connected by a short hall range. Its walls are made of coursed Barnack ashlar, which has been reused from the priory, and clunch, likely sourced from Burwell. The rear walls include some gault brick. The house has plain tiled gable roofs and stands two storeys high with attics.

The garden front displays two cross-frame casement windows with later glazing at each gable end, along with a central doorway. A similar window on the rear wall still has its original leaded lights. Inside, there are two early 17th-century doors that have been reset in the attic, as well as some square sunken panelling of the same period, also reset in a bedroom. The house includes a cellar lined with clunch, featuring an early 17th-century stop-chamfered ceiling beam. A ground floor room contains a reused beam of similar date set diagonally. In the kitchen, there is a 1775 shouldered fireplace surround and a corner cupboard with raised and fielded panelling.

In the garden to the west, there are several pieces of 14th-century moulded Barnack limestone from the priory, including a wheel-cross, a bell-shaped capital, and other quatrefoils with small shafts at their intersections, which likely formed part of an arcade.
