More about this scene

Situated under the downs, very close to the Long Man, the former manorial grange at Wilmington had, by the 13th century, developed into a small priory. Its prior, as the agent of the abbey of Grestian, used its vast medieval barn to store the produce collected from the abbey's other estates, which were located in half a dozen other counties.
