The priory was dedicated to the Most Holy trinity, but was recorded on ancient maps as St. Austin's (1545) and St. Augustine's (1610). Later still it became popularly known as the "Red Abbey" because of the red sandstone used in the church. The towers were added after the middle of the 14th century.
