[5] According to Mark Noble, an eighteenth-century writer and frequent visitor at Hinchingbrooke, "The nuns' apartments, or cells, at Hinchinbrook, are now entire, and are used as lodging-rooms for the menial servants; their common room was what is now the kitchen; the church is destroyed, except some trifling remains, now part of one of the walls of the house, and seem to have been the corner of the tower; near this place in lowering the flooring, a few years ago, one or more coffins of stone were found",[6] and "On the bow windows he put the arms of his family, with those of several others to whom he was allied".

[7] Queen Elizabeth stayed at Hinchingbrooke in August 1564 after entertainments at Cambridge University.

[8] King James came to Hinchingbrooke on 27 April 1603 and Sir Oliver Cromwell gave him hawks, horses, hounds, and a gold cup.

During the most recent restoration the entrance to the chapter house was discovered, but otherwise little of the medieval fabric is visible.

It is a Grade I listed building and is open for tours on Sunday afternoons in the summer season.
