The Priory, Beech Hill

The Priory is an English country house. It is a historic Grade II* listed building. The house is located southeast of Beech Hill, Berkshire on the banks of the River Loddon.

History
Originally a hermitage associated with Beaumys Castle, located immediately to the northeast, it was later converted into Stratfield Saye Priory. The priory was dissolved in 1399.

The land was leased from 1558 to 1665 by the Harrison family, and it is presumed they built the current house, which has a date of 1648 on the central porch.

Architecture
The house is two-storey and three-gabled. It is built of red English bond brick. Northwest of the house are a dovecote and granary. The late 17th-century garden stretches out to the southwest and is bounded by brick buildings to the northwest and a small canal to the southeast.
