More about this scene

This was formerly the site of a Benedictine priory, founded in the reign of Henry I by Baldwin de Redvers, as a cell of the Norman monastery of Montburgh. It was dissolved as an alien house in 1411, and none of the original premises survived. But aspects of the picturesque church of St Magdalene, whose proportions and masonry show its Saxonand Norman origin appear to indicate that it may have been connected to the priory.
