Naish Priory (2)
Image: © Mike Searle Taken: 24 Jul 2008
This substantial building dates from circa 1400, and is but a portion of what used to be here. This lengthy building was possibly the Guest House of a great Hall, of which no trace remains today. The name 'Priory' is a bit of a misnomer, as there is no evidence that a priory ever existed here. However, the family who built the Hall (a member of the Courtenay family between 1400 and 1410) did have court and ecclesiastical connections, particularly with Henry IV, and Joan of Navarre. The surviving west wing seen here is Grade I Listed.
