The Procurator's House in Magor, Monmouthshire, Wales, is a large, ruined mansion of the sixteenth-century, standing next to St Mary's Church in the centre of the village.
Although of ecclesiastical origin, it is unlikely the present house was ever occupied by a Procurator, who was a church official responsible for the collection of tithes.
In 1238, during the reign of Pope Gregory IX, who was born in Anagni, the church of St Mary's, Magor, and its associated lands, came under control of the abbey and remained its responsibility until 1385.
[2] In 1385, the church and tithes were leased, and subsequently permanently acquired, by the Cistercian Order of monks located at Tintern Abbey[2] The current building was constructed at some point in the early to mid-sixteen century[3] and is referenced as a"mansion belonging to the vicarage of Magor" in a document of 1585.
[1] A Scheduled Monument, the ruins are also a Grade II* listed building due to their "important architectural and historic interest.
