The Priory - Stoke Sub Hamdon

It has been known by several names, The Priory being one, Parsonage Farmhouse or Chantry House were others; originally the College Buildings of the Beauchamp Chantry, it's now a private house. Built of local Ham stone like so many of the old buildings around here, it dates from the C14, although the roadside frontage is C17. This surviving part of the college was apparently the Provost's Lodging, after 1518, it became a farm, remaining so until c.1960. After major restorations in 1967, the house became the property of the National Trust, and Grade I Listed.
