Hinton Priory

The monks disliked the location, and after Longspee's death in 1226 they petitioned his countess for a new site to achieve greater solitude.

A "lower house" for lay brothers was established near Freshford, close to the River Frome, about 0.6 miles (1 km) to the east (grid reference ST 7884 5910).

[3] The chapter house, with library and dovecote above, survives and was designated as Grade I listed in 1956.

All now belong to the sixteenth century country house, also known as Hinton Priory, on the northern part of the site and itself a Grade I listed building.

Earthworks and buried material remain, and a later cottage incorporates fragments of 14th century masonry;[1] an interpretation board was erected by the Cotswolds Conservation Board in 2017 and indicates the layout of the mediaeval buildings.
