Blackmore Priory

It was established as an Augustinian Priory with a Prior and twelve Canons, who were not monks but ordained priests.

Some of the original architecture can still be seen in what is now the Parish Church of St Laurence, notably the door between the [later] bell tower and the nave, which was once the main entrance.

The Priory's heyday was around the end of the fourteenth century when a single roof was placed over the nave and aisles.

But in the 1520s, Henry, with Cardinal Wolsey, was responsible for the demise of the monastery, which eventually passed into secular hands and was largely demolished.
