The very impressive Newburgh Priory is the home of the Wombwell family. It was founded in 1145, and was an Augustinian priory before becoming the House that it is today.

You can visit the House and Gardens, but only between April and June at a fee that doesn't seem too high. The place is quite stunning. Oh, and there is a tearoom!

Newburgh Priory is a stately home, once the home of Augustinian Canons, now a family home and a wedding venue. It dates from the 16th century and is a possible burial site of Oliver Cromwell.

The Priory and its gardens are open to the public on some dates during the summer months. There is also a tea room. See their website for more details newburghpriory.co.uk
