The Priory Gatehouse, above Cornworthy
Image: © Robin Stott Taken: 5 Jul 2013
The Gatehouse of c.1400 is all that remains standing of a "priory of Augustinian nuns founded early in the C13..." (Pevsner, South Devon, Penguin 1952). There is a kissing gate out on to the road, obscured by the gatehouse. All this grassy open space stretching down to the village, seems to be in the care of the parish council. Note the public seat, right.
