Description:
Wilmington Priory is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade I listed building. The buildings comprise the habitable core of the medieval Priory, the encircling ruins, the later domestic wing to the north, and the 14th century upper chamber to the south and west. The south-east wing dates from the late 18th century and has the character of a Georgian farmhouse. The restoration work undertaken by Landmark included complete repair and structural reinforcement, re-roofing, installation of services, and conservation of the ruins. Landmark now Iets Wilmington Priory for holidays, so that the income generated pays for its ongoing maintenance, thus securing its future.
