The house is extremely pretty with its long rambling front, stone below and brick for the several gables. The gables must be C17. (1)
The house has itself as a whole been rebuilt since the dissolution of the Priory, and the cloisters ... have vanished. (2)
Detailed site description. Centre portion of house is mainly C15/C16. (3)
Named 'Felley Priory'. (4)
The stone ground floor may contain medieval fabric but has a four-centred door that looks C16. The gables, chimneystack and r. hand bay look C17. The other gables must be relatively modern. The main chimney breast [has] a four-centred arch cut out of a foliated cross-slab with Anglo-Norman inscription. C17 balusters and newel-post knobs reused in the modern staircase. (5)
Removal of 20th century floors for repairs and renovations in 2012. Limited depth of internal groundwork to only 300mm-400mm. Stone foundations partially exposed below existing walls, none of the exposed remains could be conclusively dated to the Medieval period. (6)
