Medieval Buildings
Lihou Priory
The Benedictine Priory on Lihou Island was founded in the 12th century. The church was highly decorated with carved limestone, painted window glass and a floor of yellow and green glazed tiles. Burials in the cemetery and church have been dated to c.1250. Many fine objects have been found indicating the high status of the Priory. The priory is now in ruins but the outline of the buildings can clearly be seen. View site information sign...
