History
Healaugh Park Priory was established near the village at the site now called Healaugh Manor Farm.[2] It was founded in 1218 by Jordan de Santa Maria and his wife, Alice, who was the grand-daughter of Betram Haget. Haget had previously granted the lands outside the village for a hermitage to Gilbert, a monk of Marmoutier.[3] It was finally dissolved in 1535. After the dissolution, it served as the Manor house, amongst whose owners were Sir Arthur D'Arcy and Thomas Wharton, 1st Baron Wharton.[4]
