Description
Hardham Priory Farmhouse is a historic building that dates back to the 13th century. Originally founded as Heringham Priory by Sir William Dawtrey during the reign of Henry II, it was later expanded by Sir William Pagnell in the reign of Edward III. Two significant parts of the Priory still exist: the Refectory, which has been converted into the modern farmhouse, and the Chapter House. The Refectory features two storeys and a basement, with three windows facing north and six windows facing south. It is constructed of stone rubble, partly plastered, and has a tiled roof with casement windows. Inside, little remains to indicate its former use as a Refectory, but the basement, accessed from the south side, retains its original undercroft or cellars. This basement has a groined vault with six bays arranged in two avenues, supported by round stone columns in the center. The remaining section of the Common Room to the east consists only of ruins.
