The Priory of St John
This building can trace its history to the thirteenth century at least and has given the street its name. It was a significant establishment with links to Glastonbury Abbey, initially beginning as a hospital for the aged and infirm in the early 1200s under Bishop Jocelyn. By 1350 it was made a priory for a prior, chaplain and ten brethren and the whole site appears to have extended much further than the present structure. However, it came to a close in the Dissolution of 1539. Grade I listed.

Wells: former Priory Road Post Office
This post office opened on 1 February 1893, called Queen's Cross. It was replaced by the Broad Street office, very nearby, on 1 October 1897 but that latter branch was replaced by Priory Road on 1 December 1902 which thus saw it return to its original premises.
The office was a victim of the nationwide cull of 2,500 branches in 2007-08 and finally closed on 8 July 2008. When the signage was removed, paintwork spelling out the original Queen's Cross branch name- see Image
