More about this scene

Wenlock Priory was dissolved in the 16th century, and much of the stone was probably taken to build farms and houses in the locality. Much fine carving detail does survive. The stone structure in the foreground is a medieval wash-basin with delightful carvings of the saints on it. Notice also the topiary, which is now much more impressive than it was in this photograph.
