St Gregorys Priory

St Gregory's Priory is a house that has been converted into a priory, built around 1830-1834 with later additions and alterations. The building features ashlar stonework over brick, with some stucco on the right side, and has a concealed roof with end stucco stacks that have cornices and iron balconies.

The exterior consists of three storeys and a basement, with three first-floor windows. There is a blind entrance bay set back to the right and a further single-storey range to the right. Notable ashlar detailing includes Doric pilasters at the ends of the main range, topped with a crowning entablature. There is a ground-floor string course and bands on the first and second floors, along with tooled architraves around the first-floor windows. The windows are 6/6 sashes with plain reveals and sills, and the basement also has 6/6 sashes. The entrance on the right has a flight of four roll-edged steps leading to part-glazed double doors with an overlight, which are framed by two Doric columns with an entablature and an overhang. The right range features a central multi-pane fixed light with a tooled architrave and cornice on consoles, flanked by two round-arched fixed lights, with a low parapet and copings. The right return has additional 6/6 and 3/6 sashes.

The interior has not been inspected. The building has individual balconies on the ground and second floors, featuring a lozenge pattern with cast lead tassels, inspired by L N Cottingham's designs. The first-floor balcony showcases a continuous design with a double-heart-and-anthemion motif from the Carron Company.

Historically, the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson lived here.
