Description
St Dominic's Priory is a Dominican priory built between 1863 and 1883 by architects Gilbert Blount, W.K. Broder, and Charles A. Buckler, with construction by J. Langdon. The building is made of multi-colour stock brick with stone dressings and features a slated mansard roof with dormers on the west range, and a slated gabled roof on the south range. It consists of two irregular ranges that form a three-sided courtyard, adjacent to the south aisle of the Roman Catholic Priory Church of St Dominic.
The west range has a central entrance with a pointed arch and a gabled slated porch. The ground floor features two-light traceried windows, while the first floor has single light casements. To the right, there are two gabled bays with similar windows. The south range is buttressed and has an asymmetrically attached campanile topped with a spire, with lancet windows that articulate the stairs. The ground floor has two-light traceried windows, and the first floor features two-light plate tracery gables.
The interior, which was not inspected, is noted to retain a refectory, common rooms, and a chapter house that open off the cloister ambulatory, which has plate tracery windows and dormitory cubicles above.
