What is recorded here

Remains of detached rubble stone Catholic church, c.1700, originally on a cruciform plan and possibly incorporating fabric of medieval abbey, pre-1496. In ruins, 1939-40. Now mostly collapsed.Graveyard to site with various cut-stone grave markers, c.1700-present, including medieval effigy, c.1500.Gateway, c.1700, to site comprising pair of rubble stone piers with iron gate.

This site is of considerable social and historical interest, attesting to the long-standing ecclesiastical presence in the locality. Originally founded as an abbey by Roland Eustace and Margaret D’Artois, pre-1496, the abbey and the subsequent Catholic church built on site are now in ruins with the remaining fabric having cut-stone memorials inserted. The attendant graveyard contains various cut-stone grave markers of many periods, which are of artistic interest, and a medieval effigy to site is of considerable archaeological importance. Sited at the end of a long avenue, the site is a subtle and picturesque feature in the locality.
