The priory stood in place until 1536 when it was dissolved during Henry VIII’s monastic dissolution.
The church was built in around 1315, originally part of the priory itself, and is the only element that remains standing.
In recent history it was made into a cathedral of the Free Methodist Church but has been returned to the Church of England under the new owners.
The current manor house was built in 1866, and was run as a school from 1963 and 1996.
