Priory Park is what remains of the grounds of The Priory, originally a Tudor house built on the site of a 12th century priory, which was dismantled in the 1920s and re-erected in Richmond, Virginia. Just visible through the gap in the trees is the edge of the former terrace of Priory House. There is a drawing by Canaletto of the view from it towards St Mary's Church tower, but whether the terrace was ever fully constructed is not known. The park is managed for conservation and quiet enjoyment. It is notable for its trees, old and young, native and exotic. There are areas of unimproved grassland, relict orchard trees and a stream, St John's Brook.
