Owned and managed by the National Trust, Stoke-sub-Hamdon’s priory is a phenomenal group of 14th and 15th-century buildings, largely made from the local hamstone. Grade I listed and a scheduled ancient monument, the priory and its buildings have an old kind of grandeur to them.
Despite its name, there isn’t and has never been a priory here. The site was built as a chantry college and was subsequently tenanted after the Dissolution. It’s a fascinating place to wander around and is a particularly good example of hamstone construction.
