Boxgrove Priory, Medieval Benedictine church in Boxgrove, England.
The Priory Church features a Tudor rose-decorated chancel, renaissance carvings, and a crossing that creates patterns of light through its windows.
Founded in 1123 by Robert de Haia during Henry I's reign, the priory began with three Benedictine monks and expanded to nineteen by the 13th century.
The De La Warr chantry contains early French design elements from illuminated manuscripts, reflecting the priory's connection to Normandy's Lessay Abbey.
Located three miles from Chichester Cathedral, the church remains active for daily Mass, with arrangements for weddings and baptisms available after Sunday services.
The guest house maintains its original two-storey structure with intact gable ends, despite losing its roof during the monastic dissolution.
