Shulbrede Priory, 12th century Augustinian priory in Linchmere, England

The remaining section of Shulbrede Priory contains a parlour, buttery, and the former prior's chamber with preserved wall paintings and architectural details.

Founded in the late 12th century by Sir Ralph de Arderne, the priory functioned as a religious house until Henry VIII ordered its suppression in the 1530s.

The prior's chamber displays medieval wall paintings depicting birds, animals, women in Elizabethan dress, and the Royal Arms of King James I.

Visitors interested in exploring this Grade I listed building should verify opening times and access arrangements before planning their visit to Linchmere.

Composer Sir Hubert Parry created the Shulbrede Tunes piano pieces at the priory, dedicating each composition to different Ponsonby family members.
