Beeston Regis Priory before repair

The ruins of Beeston Regis Priory are extensive and incorporate impressive early 13th-century blind arcading in the chancel.

As a scheduled ancient monument, the Priory could not be included in the Compulsory Purchase Order served on Abbey Farmhouse.

The County Council entered into separate negotiations with the owner to purchase the ruins and then sold them to the Trust with the farmhouse.

The ruins are still owned by the Trust, and are in the guardianship of the County Council.

Between 1986-90 the Council cleared the site of encroaching vegetation and consolidated the fabric of the ruins.

The site is now open to the public throughout the year.
