This picture of Bradenstoke Priory
is dated at 1732. Bradenstoke Priory regularly called
Clack, was a little but well endowed Monastry of Canons regular
of St Augustinian built by Walter d'Evreux, Earl of
Salisbury. The priory became one of the wealthiest
religious houses in England with its chief spiritual
and temporal properties being held in Wiltshire, Gloucestershire,
Oxfordshire and Dorset.
Today all that remains of this great priory are two
14th century undercrofts and a tower.
