Location : Lincolnshire South Kesteven Horbling
Grid Ref : TF1433036180
Summary : The Gilbertine Priory of St. Saviour, Bridgend, was founded in or before 1199, for probably never more than three or four canons and a few lay-brothers, part of whose duties was the repair of Holland Bridge, or Bridge End Causeway. The church and buildings were burnt in 1445, and some time after this the priory became a cell of Sempringham with which it was surrendered in 1538. The stones of the priory were used to build Priory Farm, 50 metres to the north, traces of decorated stone being visible in the fabric. Cropmarks are visible in the vicinity of the Priory site.
More information : [TF 1433 3618] (Site of) St. Saviour's Priory [GT] (Gilbertine) (1) The Gilbertine Priory of St. Saviour, Bridgend, was founded in or before 1199, for probably never more than three or four canons and a few lay-brothers, part of whose duties was the repair of Holland Bridge, or Bridge End Causeway. The church and buildings were burnt in 1445, and some time after this the priory became a cell of Sempringham with which it was surrendered in 1538. The stones of the priory were used to build Priory Farm, 50 metres to the north. Faint traces of soil disturbance visible on air photographs at TF 144361 are possibly associated with the medieval occupation. (2-5) There are no surface remains of this Priory, and the area is under crop. (6) Priory Farm is a 17c. brick and stone building, the majority of stones have been refaced but two of them show some decoration. No change. (7)
