Maxstoke Priory Inner Gatehouse
The inner gatehouse of Maxstoke Priory, which was later converted into the Priors House. It is Medieval in date and is situated 150m east of the church at Maxtoke.
1 The inner gatehouse seems to have been converted into the Prior’s House. It is now a farmhouse of 2 storeys, 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. Other panelling, with the staircase, is C17.
2 Holliday’s plan shows additional information for the gatehouse and surrounding buildings.
