The Priory
Steeped in history the medieval Priory constructed with local Ragstone, was founded in 1253 by Sir John Mansell Lord Chief Justice of England and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports to Henry III. Once owned by Mary I, Queen of England and Ireland, Bilsington Priory stands as a timeless witness to England’s rich heritage.
During World War II, British soldiers from the Durham Light Infantry were stationed at the priory in 1940, leaving signatures etched into the walls and roof timbers, adding another layer of history to this remarkable venue.
