Sir Richard Talbot, then owner of nearby Goodrich Castle, founded the priory in 1346 as a house of the Canons Regular of St Augustine.
[1] The priory church was dedicated to St John the Baptist and Sir Richard Talbot was buried there on his death.
On his death in 1590 the property passed to his son Gilbert, who died in 1616 without a male heir.
[3] The refectory building, consisting originally of two storeys, is constructed of squared sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings but with a 20th-century roof.
