More about this scene
The priory was founded by William Marshall, the Earl of Pembroke, and it was never to be promoted to the status of abbey. Much of the early documentation of the priory has been lost, including the precise date of its founding, which was between 1189 and 1219; its charter dates from between 1190 and 1196. Because the priory was used by the parish, at the time of the Dissolution it was ordered 'that it stand still'.
