Description
Shulbrede Priory is a historic house that originated as an Augustinian priory founded around 1200. The surviving structures represent the south west corner of the cloister and were part of the prior's lodging, which included an undercroft that served as the buttery and part of the refectory. These remains were converted into a house in the 16th century, making the building partly from the 13th century and partly from the 16th century.
The building is L-shaped and constructed from Hythe sandstone and Purbeck marble, topped with a tiled roof. It features casement windows and gables on the west wing, with a central projection on the ground floor. The house has two storeys, with four windows facing south and two facing west.
The 13th-century undercroft is groined and supported by a central pillar made of Purbeck marble. The original refectory was a single hall, and on the north wall, there are three trefoil arches that lead to the lavatorium. In the former prior's lodging, there are 16th-century paintings depicting the Nativity, which were partly repainted in the early 17th century.
