The priory was founded in the 13th century by either Robert de Lingen or one of the Mortimer dynasty and was dissolved in 1539 under Henry VIII's reformations. The ruins visible today consist of the remains of a single building with a doorway and three single light windows. Traces of other footings and features exist but the full extent of this site has never been ascertained. It is probable that nearby houses contain much stonework from this ruin.
