Dunstable, Priory Church 1958

More about this scene
King Henry I founded an Augustinian priory here in 1131, built a palace and established a new market town that rapidly became a place of considerable importance. Regular royal visits and jousting tournaments added to the attraction of being sited close to the crossroads of the Watling Street and the Icknield Way. It was at the priory, in the 16th century, that the annulment of King Henry VIII's marriage to Katherine of Aragon was pronounced, followed by the dissolution of the priory itself soon afterwards. Parts of the original priory church, with its fine Norman nave and magnificent west front, have survived as the town's parish church - the Priory Church of St Peter.
