Description: | The illustration shown was drawn by Francis Grose, dated 1773. An engraving by Godfrey (almost identical to that shown here engraved by Richardson) was reproduced in 'The Antiquities of England and Wales', volume 2, 1784, opposite p. 190. Grose wrote: "Nothing more of this priory is remaining than what is here shewn; on its site is now a farm-house, at which were some time ago to be seen, many stone coffins entire, then used for troughs, and other domestic uses. It is now the property of Thomas Wood, Esq of Grosvenor-street, London."
The Augustinian priory of St Denys was founded in 1127 by Henry I. It stood on the west bank of the River Itchen. The house was dissolved in 1536, already in a ruinous state. It passed through a variety of lay owners, and today the scant ruins stand in Priory Road, Southampton, with a small archway re-erected at Tudor House Museum. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Subjects: | farm Priory Road St Dionisius building St Denys St Dionysius farmhouse Thomas Wood abbey | Temporal: | start=1773-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Francis Grose; Richardson; Alexander Hogg | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
