Cookhill Priory

The Grade II* listed building includes both the remains of a medieval religious complex and a sixteenth-century farmhouse near Evesham Road.

Founded in January 1201, the priory operated as a religious institution until 1540, when the small community of seven nuns received pensions during dissolution.

The architecture demonstrates the principles of Cistercian design through functional spaces and straightforward structural elements that defined medieval monastic buildings.

The location coordinates at 52.2137 latitude and -1.92288 longitude allow visitors to find this National Heritage site in Worcestershire.

The property became the center of legal cases regarding agricultural tax relief definitions after its 2001 sale, leading to changes in farmhouse classifications.
