Stavordale Priory, 13th-century priory in Charlton Musgrove, England
The Grade I listed building features local stone rubble construction with Doulting stone dressings and includes a two-storey structure with four bays.
Founded in 1201 for Augustinian canons, the priory merged with Taunton in 1533 and transformed into a private residence during the English Reformation.
The priory structure contains medieval architectural elements such as 15th-century trusses and a fan vault ceiling in the side chapel.
The building maintains its original stone work and traditional design elements under protection of conservation laws as a Grade I listed structure.
Theatre producer Sir Cameron Mackintosh owns the priory, which features gardens documented in the 2017 book 'The Secret Gardeners' by Victoria Summerley.
