A horse and foal seen alongside the priory car park, Michelham Priory is near the village of Upper Dicker in East Sussex, about 1¾ miles west of Hailsham. Founded as an Augustinian priory in 1229 and suppressed in 1537 it passed through the hands of various private owners until 1959 when it was given in trust to the Sussex Archaeological Society. There is a house and a great barn and various other buildings. The house is 13th century, with an additional 16th century wing. The barn is late 16th or early 17th century. The whole is surrounded by a moat, enclosing an area of almost 8 acres. Five of the buildings are listed and the whole site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1017721
