Hatfield Peverel Priory
Hatfield Peverel Priory, Benedictine priory in Hatfield Peverel, Essex, England.
The priory complex includes St Andrew's Church, constructed with flint-rubble walls, freestone details, and tiled roofs on the south side of Hatfield Peverel.
William Peverel transformed the initial secular college into a Benedictine priory during Henry I's reign, making it subordinate to St Albans Abbey in Hertfordshire.
The church houses medieval artifacts including heraldic glass, a thirteenth-century effigy, fifteenth-century bench ends, and commemorative floor slabs from different periods.
The nave measures 81 feet by 25 feet and functions as both chancel and nave, featuring a five-bay arcade on the north wall with octagonal columns.
A fire in 1231 destroyed most of the priory, leaving only the presbytery intact while the church, tower, and all furnishings perished.
