The Cluniac Priory was established in the first decade of the twelfth century and dissolved in 1540. The ruins are Grade I listed. The stumps of the Romanesque columns (flint-cored and ashlar-faced) give an idea of the cathedral proportions of the Priory Church. The ruins of the Prior's Lodgings are in the middle distance.
