Combwell Priory
History
It was founded as an abbey by Robert de Turneham in the reign of Henry II but in 1220 it was struggling financially and downgraded to a priory. It was suppressed in the Dissolution of the Monasteries and on 20 November 1537 was granted to Thomas Culpeper. It is now a private home.
