Listed Building record TR 06 SW 1083 - CHURCH OF ST MARY MAGDALENE

Summary

Grade I listed building. Main construction periods 1066 to 1164. St Mary Magdalene (also dedicated to St Lawrence) is the nave section of the former church of a Bendictine Nunnery established on this site in 1153, dissolved in 1535. Excavations in 1977 established the former eastwards extension of the church, giving the nuns quire and possibly a north chapel. The surviving section has much original 12th century material, with an elaborate 12th century doorway at the western end. The nave and single surviving tower were sensitively restored in the mid ninetheenth century by Thomans Willment, who was living in the Priory.
