Priory Fields is located in the village of Bicknacre. It comprises around thirty two acres of meadowland, which includes the Priory Arch. This is the remains of Bicknacre Priory. Originally the fields belonged to the Priory. Part of the land became Priory Farm and when that was sold, seven acres of land and the arch were given to the parish. Woodham Ferrers and Bicknacre Parish Council were instrumental in forming a volunteer group called the Friends of Priory Fields. They are responsible for developing and maintaining these peaceful surroundings for the benefit of the local and wider community. In 2007 they were able to purchase a further 25 acres, with the aid of a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
