Description
Pittenweem Priory, located on Marygate in Pittenweem, was transferred from the Isle of May and established in the 13th century. The current buildings surrounding the inner close include the west range, known as the Great House, which dates from the 16th century and was partly remodeled in the 17th century. The south end was rebuilt as the Town Hall in 1821, with an early Victorian porch added later. This part is three stories high, featuring a central section that is taller, with swept dormer heads, ashlar stonework, and shallow oriel windows facing the court. The roof is a mix of pantiles and slate, with crow-stepped gables, while the north gable is harled.
The south range, which served as the Prior's lodging, also dates from the 16th century and was restored as a Rectory in the 19th century. This section is three stories high and harled, with a two-story stone-built outshot added later to the court. The north wall of the priory is primarily of 17th century construction and built from rubble.
