Tudor Wing, West Wing And Georgian House, St Margarets Priory

Dating from the 16th century, St Margarets Priory comprises a Tudor wing, a west wing, and a Georgian house. The south-east corner tower is likely the oldest part of the building. The Tudor wing is a five-story red brick structure with a high parapet. The ground floor forms an entrance porch featuring four centrally arched openings, with a studded iron door inside. Horizontal string courses delineate the floors. It originally had casement windows, though some window spaces on the top floor have been blocked. The north-east wing, dating from the 16th or early 17th century, is also constructed of red brick and has an old tiled roof with tall chimneys. This wing has two stories and five windows, featuring casement windows with wooden mullions and transoms. The western elevation includes two gabled dormers. The south-west wing, the Georgian House, was built in the late 18th or early 19th century. It is of red brick construction, with a modillion cornice and a castellated parapet, and rises to three stories with two windows – large sash windows with glazing bars. St Margarets Priory is part of a group with the Old Malt House.
