[3] Bromfield Priory was also in existence before the Norman conquest; it was served by twelve canons, and has a relatively detailed description in the Domesday Book.
It is thought that the priory used the crossing (which later became the chancel) and the south transept for its services, while the lay congregation used the western part of the church.
[3] Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, in 1541 the church and priory were leased to Charles Foxe, who purchased the property in 1558.
[2][3] The chancel (the former crossing) was divided into two storeys,[3] and the south transept was converted to form the rest of the house.
[3] The church was restored in 1889–90 by C. Hodgson Fowler who added windows on the south side, and a north vestry.
It depicts the Shield of the Trinity surrounded by cherubs and texts, and angels holding a bible open at Psalm 85.
The reredos consists of a triptych dating from about 1890 by the artist Charles Edgar Buckeridge.
The stained glass consists of a large series designed by Kempe dating from 1890 to 1922.
[7] It also holds a burying ground for the Clive, later Windsor-Clive, family of nearby Oakly Park, notably Edward Clive, 1st Earl of Powis,[8] his son Robert,[9] and grandson Robert Windsor-Clive,[10] all politicians.
