Lavenham Priory

[1][2] Aubrey de Vere I was the Lord of the Manor, according to the Domesday Book of 1086.

In the early 13th Century De Vere gifted the property to an Order of Benedictine Monks.

It was a monastic house until probably the early part of the 15th Century, after which it was acquired by Roger Ruggles - who made a fortune from the cloth industry.

For the past 20 years Lavenham Priory has operated as a boutique guest house.
