Thremhall Priory

Thremhall Priory was a community of Augustinian Canons in Great Hallingbury, Essex, England. It was probably founded in around 1150 by Gilbert de Montfichet or else by his son Richard de Montfichet the Elder.^[1]

It was dissolved in 1536 and re-granted to Sir John Cary and his betrothed, the widow Joyce Walsingham (née Denny; mother of Sir Francis Walsingham), with all its possessions, which included the manors of Thremhall, Engeyneshall (now Gidea Hall) in Little Clacton and Beches in Furneux Pelham.^[1]

There are no remains of the priory buildings, the site of which is now occupied by an 18th-century house, but the outlines of the moat and fishpond are still visible.^[2]
