The Abbey

The Abbey, originally part of an Augustinian Priory, incorporates remains of the medieval Priory within its structure. The building as it currently exists is a mansion that was rebuilt in 1806, featuring a brick house with stone dressings from 1720. The 1806 facade is made of ashlar and has a low-pitched hipped slate roof, a pediment, a cornice, a parapet, and angle pilasters. It is three storeys high with a layout of 1:3:1 bays, where the central three bays are topped with a large pediment that displays a coat of arms. All windows are sashes with glazing bars, and the ground and first floors on the right and left have Venetian windows. There is a central porch supported by columns and an entablature. The left (south) wing is set back and has two storeys with a blind attic in the parapet, featuring irregular fenestration with some sashes blocked, and a doorway with columns and an entablature. Inside, there are well-preserved rooms and a stairwell with a lantern from 1806, as well as a music room dating from around 1846.
