Binham priory, Norfolk

BINHAM PRIORY MARCH 2017
An early evening in March 2017,
ANCIENT BINHAM PRIORY
Today, team member Deanne and myself travel up to north Norfolk to visit a very unusual relic from the past. St Mary`s Church, Binham is actually built within the ruins of Binham Priory which was closed down by Henry VIII, with the majority of the Priory being demolished for building materials.
Fortunately the main part of the Priory was converted into a church, and today stands as one of the most majestic Monastic ruins in the whole of England.
As with any popular location, the church was frequented by a constant stream of visitors, thus rendering any chance of EVP as negligible.
However, a beautifully active church as you will see!

BINHAM PRIORY RUINS (Main building still used for services)
St Mary's Priory, Binham, or Binham Priory, is a ruined Benedictine priory located in the village of Binham in the English county of Norfolk. Today the nave of the much larger priory church has become the Church of St. Mary and the Holy Cross and is still used as a place of worship. The remains of the priory are in the care of English Heritage.
The priory was founded in the late 11th century, as a dependent house of St Albans Abbey, by Peter de Valognes and his wife Albreda. Peter was a nephew of William the Conqueror, and after the Norman Conquest was assigned lands in west and north Norfolk, among them the entire village of Binham. The priory was endowed with the entire manor of Binham, making the prior the lord of the manor, together with the tithes of thirteen other churches in Norfolk. Originally it had 8 monks, rising to 13 or 14 in the 14th century before falling back to 6 immediately before its suppression 1539.
A Ley tunnel is said to run from the buildings to an unknown destination and many years ago a fiddler decided to explore these passages; he could be heard for some distance before suddenly ceasing. The fiddler was never seen again.
Weird Norfolk: The Ghost of Binham Priory
In a report from the Norwich Evening News in April 1935, the monk appeared to have been seen at the Priory: “When the night is dark and dismal, the stranger standing amongst the fragments of old walls of Binham Priory would not find it difficult to visualise his eerie surroundings as a setting for a ghost story,” a reporter wrote, somewhat poetically.

The Holy Trail Episode 3 Part 1
Our fine County has more Churches, Abbeys, Priories and Cathedrals collectively than any other in England.
Some built with strong Norman influences & developed bewteen the 11th and 13th centuries. Following their conquest and occupation of England, the Normans carried out not just a complete redistribution of land, but also undertook a huge reorganisation of the institutions of both church and state. This was accompanied by a massive building programme. The cathedrals of England were totally rebuilt, new parish churches took shape in virtually every parish of the land, and monastery after monastery was planted across England.
At the heart of this renewal were the Benedictine monasteries. They were the great centres of spirituality and learning. Within their walls were to be found some of the most notable scholars and administrators of the age.
On my journey around Norfolk I consider the position of these buildings today and what part they play in our Community in the 21st century.
In episode 3 we visit Binham Priory, Creake Abbey and the village of Walsingham, the destination for Kings & Queens on their own Holy Trail

Isleham priory and St Andrew's Church
The Priory of St Margaret of Antioch was founded in the village in 1090. It was always an alien priory run directly from France and, as such, was dissolved in 1414. It was later used as a barn and is now looked after by English Heritage.
St Andrew's parish church is the burial site for important ancestors of the Peyton family. Many visitors who have Peyton ancestors visit the church throughout the year, and obtain rubbings of the famous brasses decorating the Peyton monuments. The church continues to be restored with the help of donations from Peyton families in the UK and USA.
