Kerswell Priory, Medieval priory in Broadhembury, England
The stone building combines architectural elements from different periods, featuring a late 16th-century core structure and a relocated 12th-century doorway.
Founded between 1119 and 1129, Matilda Peverel donated the land for this Cluniac priory, which operated as a cell of Montacute Priory in Somerset.
The remaining monastic refectory stands south of the main building, preserving evidence of medieval religious life in Devon during the Middle Ages.
The Grade II listed property maintains its religious heritage while functioning as a private residence in the agricultural region of East Devon.
During the 16th century dissolution period, the priory housed only two monks and was valued at £28 16s 4d before its transfer to John Etherydge.
