Description
The Priory is a 19th-century granite house that does not possess special architectural interest on its own. However, it features a square entrance tower, likely dating from the 14th century, which is believed to be part of a Collegiate Chantry. The tower includes angle buttresses, a crenellated parapet, a porch entrance with moulded jambs and a pointed arch, as well as a one-light window with a cusped head.
