Prior's House at Nuneaton Priory

Description of this historic site

The possible site of the Medieval Prior's House associated with Nuneaton Priory. It would have stood on Manor Court Road, Nuneaton and the results of a geophysical survey suggest that some building ruins survive.

Notes about this historic site

1 The principal dwelling was the Habit which can be located close to the site now occupied by Manor Court House. This seems to have been the Abbot’s or Prior’s House, occupied by the brethren when the priory was a dual order.
2 Geophysical survey of garden at Manor Court House, December 1990. The survey findings confirm that further investigation of the garden will certainly be justified, especially of the lawn to the W of the house. The results in this area suggest the presence of substantial subsurface disturbances, and would be compatible with the presence of masonry or structural remains, although no firm conclusions can be drawn concerning their age or character from survey evidence alone.
