Combwell Priory

Combwell Priory was a priory about 10 miles southeast of Tunbridge Wells in Kent, England.

History

It was founded as an abbey by Robert de Turneham in the reign of Henry II but in 1220 it was struggling financially and downgraded to a priory. It was suppressed in the Dissolution of the Monasteries and on 20 November 1537 was granted to Thomas Culpeper.
