All that remains of the Benedictine priory of St Mary, founded in 1075. Although much restored (by Seddon and Pritchard and G.E. Halliday in 3 phases up to 1896), the fine 15th century oriel window gives a hint of how the Prior's Lodging and gatehouse would have looked in the establishment's heyday. Now a community hall, the building was restored as a National School.
