St Vincent'S Priory And Attached Wall And Railings

St Vincent's Priory is an attached house built around 1820, featuring stucco and limestone dressings, along with a slate cross-gabled roof. It is designed in a picturesque Gothic style and consists of three storeys, an attic, and a basement, arranged in a double-depth plan. The front of the building is symmetrical with a gabled design, including a right-hand single-storey porch that has moulded coping and a two-centred arched doorway with splayed reveals leading to an eight-panel door. Above the door, "ST VINCENTS PRIORY" is inscribed, and sphinxes adorn the coping.

The gable showcases elaborate three-light bow windows, with tall lancets on the ground floor featuring three-over-two pane sashes with margin panes. These windows are separated by colonnettes topped with moulded capitals and draped female figures that support the second-floor bowed oriel. This oriel has a moulded base and French windows separated by panelled mullions with gableted tops. The third floor mirrors the ground floor with five-pane windows, hoodmoulds, and colonnettes featuring draped male figures at the coved eaves. A balcony at the front is enclosed by wrought-iron railings designed with pointed arches.

The right side of the building has a gabled return with a single-window range of cross windows. An attached squared rubble wall extends approximately 8 meters to the right, topped with railings that match those of the balcony. The priory is historically significant as it was built over caves believed to have Christian significance, which is reflected in its symbolic decorations. The interior has not been inspected.
