Priory Cottages, Berkshire

Priory Cottages (aka Steventon Priory) is a 14th-century manor house and former monastic grange in Steventon, Berkshire. Henry I gave the manor of Steventon to the priory of Notre-Dame de Bonne-Nouvelle in Rouen. Although it was given the status of a priory, it always remained just a monastic grange - the building now called Priory Cottages. In 1939 the cottages were endowed to the National Trust by an anonymous group of women philanthropists called Ferguson’s Gang. The building is within the council area of Vale of White Horse (Oxfordshire).
Historic England Grade II* Listed 1052724.
