Prittlewell Priory
Prittlewell Priory was founded by the Cluniac Order in the early 12th century as a cell to the Priory of St Pancras at Lewes, Sussex.
It was one of the lesser monasteries housing not more than 18 monks. In 1536 much of the building was destroyed and what remained was much altered during the 18th Century. Alterations were made again in the early 20th Century, when the Refectory was restored and partly rebuilt. A number of original features do survive, including a 12th Century doorway with chevron and dog tooth ornamentation.
The Priory Visitor Centre has our gift shop, café and toilets (including accessible toilet and baby change), and is open throughout the year Wednesday to Sunday even when the Priory museum is closed.
*Please note we do not allow buggies, bikes or scooters in the Priory.*
