When arriving at Boxgrove, through leafy green woodlands, you are greeted by the 12th century ruin of the priory guest house, this house was built to entertain the guests and to provide lodgings. Originally the building had two storeys with a vaulted cellar, and if you look at the north end of the building you can see the support that held the vault for the under croft. When you wander on, you can see a small homely parish church, the exterior is medieval but when looking around the church you can see the cracks, the walls and columns that have been ripped down and ruined, which originally was a larger building but now what remains is known as the parish church. The chapel and the ruins truly make for a special visit, it is somewhere you can calmly gather your thoughts and take the time to see all the natural beauty untouched, but obviously the church is in use and is used for mass, tours, audio recordings, concerts and lecturers. We hope you enjoyed the short history of Boxgrove Priory, and do genuinely hope you take your time to go and visit this wonderful place, please give us a follow on Instagram for regular updates and photographs of our explorations!

This place is amazing. It's clean , has a really good atmosphere. You can have a picnic or just enjoy walking in the old priory. It's a really pretty location. There is a wildlife reserve in the next field and beautiful countryside. It's quiet and the houses are picturesque. I really did love coming here. There is free parking too. And in the village they have shops and places to eat.

A solemn place, perfect if you’re going for self-reflection. There’s a public footpath nearby leading to the private tinwood vineyard where you can experience nature.

Was looking round the other day for some nearby English Heritage places to visit and spotted this one which we had never been too before and thought looked interesting. It's kinda cool, just not really worth the 3-4 hour drive it took us to get here. Great to see that places like this are still being kept in good nick (well sort of). If your in the area, go for it. But don't come for miles just to see it, it's not really worth your time. Unless you are, like we were, incredibly bored lol

This is well worth a visit but have since learned the church is closed due to Covid. But even so it's still worth visiting the ruins. And 5 minute drive up the road you can walk up to Halnaker windmill which is also worth the walk
