Henwood Priory

[1] It was probably founded around 1154–1161, although possibly as early as 1149 under Walter Durdent, Bishop of Chester and Coventry by Ketelberne de Langdon and it had confirmation of papal privilege from Pope Gregory IX in 1228.

A later farmhouse nearby is also called Henwood Hall and has remains of the priory buildings incorporated into its walls.

[2] Otherwise there are no built remains, but the site retains traces of a moat and various ground irregularities which probably mark the spoil left from demolition.

[2] The site where the priory once stood is supposedly haunted[citation needed] by 12 nuns, out of a community of 15, including the prioress (Mother Superior) Millicent de Fokerham, who by 19 August 1349 had died from the Black Death,[1] but the supposed ghosts have not been seen since 1976.
