The Priory

The Priory is a building that has been converted into a house, originally dating from the 14th century, with additions from the 16th, 18th, and 19th centuries, as well as alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed from flint with stone and brick dressings and quoins, featuring brick chimneys and some tile hanging on the gable. The roof is tiled. The structure has a double pile layout, with the 14th and 16th-century sections located to the north and a later addition to the south. It stands two storeys high, with the northern part gabled and featuring a large central ridge stack, while the southern part has a hipped roof with end stacks.

On the north elevation, there is irregular fenestration consisting of 20th-century metal casements, except for a two-light cusped headed window in a stone surround on the left side of the first floor, which has a carved stone set immediately to its right. A large flint buttress is located at the left corner of the building, and there is a lean-to formed from part of the 14th-century flint wall. The central door is situated under a 20th-century pent porch. The south elevation features all 20th-century casement windows, with three windows in total; the outer ones are wide and set under rubbed brick arches. The central door is framed in a semi-circular headed brick surround, complete with stone impost blocks and a keystone.

Inside, much of the timber framing is visible in the internal partitions, along with chamfered and stopped beams and large joists. There is a re-used 16th-century door head in the end wall of a first-floor bedroom. The eastern part of the roof contains two bays of soot-blackened timbers with moulded arch-braced collars, chamfered wind braces, and purlins, as well as a collar and crown post at the mid-span of the central bay. Additionally, there are two bays of 17th-century rafters, all numbered to the west.
