Looking east from the A512. Although the area around Grace Dieu has historical connections dating back to the Romans and beyond, the Priory came into being around 1235-1241 as a house for Augustinian canonesses. The priory was dissolved in 1538 by Henry VIII. http://www.gracedieupriory.co.uk/history.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolution_of_the_Monasteries
