Wolston Priory
The site of Wolston Priory which was founded during the Medieval period. It is situated 600m north east of St Margaret's Church, Wolston.
1 A small alien priory founded by Hubert Boldran between 1086 and 1194. This priory belonged to the Benedictine abbey of St Pierre-sur-Dive. In 1388 the hall, stable, grange and barn were dilapidated. In 1394 it was sold to Coventry Abbey.
2 Wolston Priory is a partly 16th century house, but has some 15th century or earlier details. These include a late 15th century entrance arch in the porch, a stone piscina in the kitchen and a carved corbel in the adjoining pantry. These may have come from the priory.
3 The house probably stands on the site of the priory.
4 The entrance porch, piscina and corbels are almost certainly reset. It has been suggested that the Priory was associated with the moated site to the W.
5 Scheduled.
