Description
This small farmbuilding, located at right angles to the cowshed at Priory Farm, is a former monastic domestic building that is now disused. It likely dates from the 15th century and is constructed of rubble stone with a corrugated asbestos roof, which replaced a former thatched roof. The building is two stories high and features one window on the west front. There is a Tudor-arched stone doorway with a rebate to the right, which provides access to internal stairs. To the left of the doorway is a former two-light chamfered mullioned window, now with an inserted 19th-century window. The first floor has a chamfered open window to the left.
On the left side of the building, there is a planked stable door with a segmental head to the right, along with a blocked two-light mullioned window on the first floor. The rear of the building is windowless, while the right side has a blocked arched opening on the ground floor.
Inside, the ground floor features a very deep chamfered beam in the ceiling, and there are winding stone stairs leading from the outside to the first floor, with no internal access between the two levels. The first floor includes a stone square-headed fireplace and a 20th-century roof.
This building is one of the two surviving domestic structures from the Priory that was founded here in 1190, which also served as a leprosy hospital during the 12th century.
