The Lodge and gates at the entrance to Poulton Priory. Pevsner describes Poulton Priory as 'a large stone Tudor-Renaissance house of 1895-97 for James Joicey by Charles J. Blomfield (Sir Arthur Blomfield & Son)', though the house doesn't appear to be listed. In medieval times the Gilbertine Priory founded in 1350 by Thomas de Sancto Mauro (or Seymour) stood nearby.
