Hawkesyard Priory, Dominican priory in Armitage with Handsacre, England
The priory church incorporates a nine-bay nave and chancel in one structure, featuring red brick walls with ashlar dressings and diagonal buttresses.
Built between 1896 and 1914, the estate was initially named Hawksyard until 1760, when it was renamed to Armitage Park.
The interior displays stone tablets in the style of Eric Gill along the nave walls and houses carved stalls in the south chapel.
The former living quarters of the Dominican friars now function as a nursing home, while the church serves the Society of Traditional Old Catholics.
The priory contains an organ from 1700-1701 that originated from Eton College, built by Father Smith and relocated to this location.
