The ruins of Boxgrove Priory, Sussex

Boxgrove Priory

Boxgrove Priory, whose ruins stand in the village of Boxgrove in Sussex, was a monastery founded in 1105, in the early years of the Norman conquest, by Robert de Haye. When the Priory was dissolved in 1536 there were eight priests and one novice, as well as twenty-eight servants and eight children living in the priory.

The Priory church is still in use as the parish church, known as the Church of St Mary and St Blaise. (Read more)
