Shulbrede Priory

[2] It was founded as a house for canons of the Augustinian order, towards the end of the 12th century, by Sir Ralph de Arderne.

[2] This includes the parlour leading into the former cloisters, the buttery (an undercroft) and above it what was originally the prior's chamber or guests' hall.

[4] Parry composed some piano pieces called Shulbrede Tunes, which were musical portraits of the members of the Ponsonby family.

[7] Until 1925, when copyhold was abolished, the Court Baron of the Manor of Linchmere and Shulbrede was held in the priory.

[2] It was the home of their granddaughters, Laura Ponsonby, who died in 2016, and Kate Russell,[8] who still lives there with her husband.
