Stavordale Priory near Charlton Musgrove, Somerset, England was built as a priory of Augustinian canons in the 13th century and was converted into a private residence after the suppression of the monastery in 1538.

[6] However the name 'Johannis' is the Latin form for 'John' as well as 'Johannes' and there is little reason to create a German link to the prior.

[1] It is thought to be linked to the village's old church near the altar by a tunnel, perhaps used as a priest's escape route, some two miles in length.

It was converted around the time of the dissolution of the monasteries, after the priory merged with Taunton in 1533.

[7] It is now owned by Sir Cameron Mackintosh, a British theatrical producer notable for his association with many commercially successful musicals.
