⛪ Naish Priory

Naish Priory in East Coker, Somerset, England, contains portions of a substantial house dating from the mid-14th century to around 1400. Emery says the building was not a priory as it had been termed by the late-19th-century owner Troyte Chafyn Grove, and there appears no evidence of ownership by a religious house or the residence of a large community of monks on the site. However, there is evidence of a dormitory and communal living dating from the 14th century, and the extant buildings grew on a foundation that had religious obligations by way of chantry to the de Courtenay Earls of Devon from at least 1344. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building, with the attached Priory Cottage and northern boundary railings.
