[3] By 1464 it was "so near dissolution that for a long time only one canon has remained there" so was ordered by King Edward IV to be merged into the Premonstratensian monastery of Halesowen.
[7] The site was triangular, measuring 240 by 180 metres, and a moat – or more likely, series of fishponds[8] – is still visible and waterlogged today.
Some of the remains are also visible and the listing of the site may include part of the refectory, in particular "a chamfered pointed doorway" on its south west side.
[9][10] The site was bought by the Chartist Co-operative Land Society in the 1840s to settle working-class families on four, three and two acre plots, where it was hoped they would be able to make a reasonable income.
Around 70,000 members paid subscriptions in the hope of gaining a plot, which were allocated by the drawing of ballots.
