Prior's House at Maxstoke Priory
The Prior's house at Maxtoke Priory. The house was converted from the gatehouse of Maxtoke Priory and dates to the Medieval period. It is situated 100m west of Priory Farm.
1 The inner gatehouse was probably converted into the Prior’s House before the suppression and afterwards into the existing farmhouse, a two-storey building, the gateway arches blocked, with a C15 timber-framed addition and some C18 brickwork. The C15 panelled ceiling originally in the upper chamber has been moved to a lower room and repainted.
2 Holliday’s plan shows additional information for the gatehouse and surrounding buildings.
4 Scheduled as Warwickshire Monument No 8.
