More about this scene
The Priory stands on the banks of the River Hiz (from which the town of Hitchin gets its name), and dates back to the time of King Edward II. He granted a small portion of Hitchin to the White Friars or Carmelites who built the original priory. In 1539 they were forced to surrender it to the king, and it was eventually passed to the Radcliffe family, whose descendants continued to hold it until the 19th century.
