Sussex Group visit to Shulbrede Priory

Event details

Saturday, 8th July at 2.30pm

Price £9 to include tea

Shulbrede Priory, Linchmere, Haslemere, Surrey, GU27 3NQ. Ample parking is available.

At the dissolution of the monasteries, the Priory became part of the Cowdray estate, which retained it until 1902.  The only portion of the original Priory which remauned standing was  the range of buildings to the south of the cloisters including the parlour leading into the former cloisters, the buttery (an undercroft) and above it what was originally the Prior's chamber or guests hall. This was at some point divided into smaller rooms and one of the partitions was decorated with wall paintings, which can still be seen.

Now a private house, the buildings that survive formed the south west corner of the cloister which was converted into a house in then C16. The building is therefore partly C13 and partly C16.  Our guided tour will provided by the current owner, Ian Russell, and his daughter.
