Fairly small building Didn't take long to walk around The best thing is the cave style rooms, very small dated from 1200 Beautiful gardens surrounding the priory Interesting historical facts throughout , with some interactive sections Visitor centre directly opposite the priory Free parking and disabled parking nearby
Really nice surrounding gardens and the grounds are gorgeous and suitable for the whole family. Lovely formal areas along side a large pond.
Great visit thanks to a tour from Verna. Lots to see and a surprising history of Southend. Richie Rich! Who knew?
Nice for a stroll. Great autumn colour. The Priory building is very well presented and improvements have been made for all to enjoy.
Great place to visit, relax and take in some green space and history.
It is very peaceful. I had an amazing time as l learnt how long the buildings have been preserved by the government.
