Moatenden Priory

Moatenden Priory is a farmhouse, likely incorporating a remnant of a house belonging to Trinitarian Friars, dating to the late 15th or first half of the 16th century. It has been altered in the 17th century and later. The ground floor of the left section is red brick with a grey brick diaper pattern and irregular stone quoins to the left corner; the central section is red and grey brick in Flemish bond; and the right-hand bay is 19th-century banded red and grey brick in English bond. The first floor is tile-hung, and the roof is tiled, with a gablet to the right. A filleted brick stack is located on the rear slope of the roof toward the right.

The fenestration is irregular, with five 9-pane sashes. The left section has a single 2-light, hollow-chamfered stone mullion window with round-headed lights, moulded jambs, and a squared hoodmould to the left of the door, and a similar single-light window to the right of the door. There are two similar windows at the rear, aligned with those to the front. A hollow-chamfered stone doorway has a rounded, almost 4-centred arched head and hoodmould at the right end of the left-hand bay. It has a panelled door with a 19th-century open timber porch beneath the stack. The rear elevation features three gables, two of which are jettied on shaped brackets.

The interior includes exposed framing. A stone doorway with a 4-centred arched head and another stone opening are situated in the right wall of the left-hand bay. A plain crown-post is found at the right end of this bay. The site is moated. A house of Trinitarian Friars was founded around 1235 and dissolved in 1536.
