New article name is Midsomer Norton Priory

The Old Priory Hotel is one of the oldest houses in Somerset, and dates back to c.1152. The house was later purchased by Christ Church College, Oxford who owned it until 1712 when it was sold to a private buyer.

A secret tunnel is said to have existed linking the nearby 15th century Tithe Barn (now a catholic church) to The Priory, which was likely to have been used for escape and refuge in the days of religious persecution.

The Priory now accommodates a restaurant, the Moody Goose.
