Premonstratensian house founded 1154. Only part standing above ground is the NW pier of the crossing with a short length of wall between the nave and the N transept. This has nice c13 detail. The remainder of the site is unencumbered, being rough pasture, and it is possible that the whole ground could be recovered. No record can be found of any excavation.
Large area of earthworks and the NW pier and a short length of wall still standing; decoration on the wall is very similar to that in Southwell Minster chapter house. Other pieces of medieval masonry can be seen reused in the walls of the nearby cottage and its out-buildings.
