Bromholm Priory

This piece of the True Cross was brought from Constantinople, after the Fourth Crusade, by an anonymous English Monk.

In 1940 the base of the central tower of the priory church was modified to act as a pillbox in case of German invasion.

A similarly disguised gun emplacement can be seen created in the medieval masonry of Pevensey Castle in East Sussex, also close to the sea.

Considerable graphic visualisations of what the priory and its lands looked like throughout its history were produced in 2019 and 2020 by members of the Paston Portal.
