This stone column was part of the priory's church - to the north of the existing site. Of course, little of the original building remains but look at The Abbey Farm behind the column. It is easy to guess where the stones on that gable end wall came from! For further information about the priory go to http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/notts/vol2/pp140-141#h3-0002
