overview
Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries the property was acquired in 1541 by Anthony Belassis, one of Henry VIII's chaplains. He converted the priory into a Tudor mansion and today there are no signs of the original monastic buildings and church.
In the early-17th century Sir Henry Belassis enlarged and embellished the house. However, most of these alterations were covered by the work carried out by his descendant the 4th Viscount (later 1st Earl) of Fauconberg.
