The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with St. Sinchell who founded a monastery here in the sixth century. The church and convent marked on the OS 6-inch map are the same buildings which represent the remains of a large Franciscan Abbey formerly the site of an Augustinian Priory (OF025-017003-) which is today incorporated into a guest house (OF025-030----) and a C of I church.
Site of Augustinian priory founded in the 12th-century later occupied by late 14th-century Franciscan foundation (OF025-017----) which would explain wide range of dates from the surviving architectural fragments.
