Prittlewell Priory, Medieval house museum in Southend-on-Sea, England.
Prittlewell Priory stands as a preserved monastic building with a 12th-century doorway featuring chevron and dog tooth stone decorations throughout its structure.
The priory, established in 1110 as part of the Cluniac Order, underwent significant changes during the 1536 Dissolution of Monasteries under Henry VIII's reign.
The museum displays artifacts and exhibitions about the Scratton family's residence during the 19th century, including their original portraits and personal items.
Visitors can access the museum free of charge on Saturdays and Sundays between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with a self-operated lift to the second floor.
The refectory houses an elevated Minstrel's Gallery that provides an architectural perspective of the medieval dining area's original stone features.
