Yenston Priory
Yenston Priory was a Benedictine priory in Henstridge, Somerset, England.
It was a cell of the Abbey of Sever in Normandy, France. It was founded by Hugh d'Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester, who died around 1100 and was also known as Hugh Abrincus,[1] and Hugh Lupus.[2] Around 1468 it was granted to Eton College. After the dissolution of the monasteries the land was held by Sir Thomas Bell.[1]
Stone from the priory was used to build Monmouth House in the village, and traces of its buildings may remain in the outhouses.[3]
