Tickford Priory

Tickford Priory was a medieval monastic house in Newport Pagnell in Buckinghamshire, England.

Tickford Priory was established in 1140 by Fulconius Paganel,[citation needed] the lord of the Manor of Newport Pagnell.

As such, its income was seized in the wars between England and France when Edward III and Richard II reigned.

[2] When the priory was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1525, both abbey and land was given to Cardinal Wolsey who annexed "the superfluous house of Tickford".

Another feature of the Abbey is the Gazebo, restored and modernized in 1987 under initiative of the Buckinghamshire Historic Buildings Trust, which stands by the River Ouse in the extensive grounds of the house.

It was William Powell who created the magnificent Tickford Park and built the two lodges at the end of the drive.
