Tickford Priory
Tickford Priory was a medieval monastic house in Newport Pagnell in Buckinghamshire, England.
Tickford Priory was established in 1140 by Fulconius Paganel, the lord of the Manor of Newport Pagnell.[1]The priory was a cell of the Cluniac Order, headquartered at Marmoutier Abbey in Tours, France.
In 1524, Cardinal Wolsey annexed "the superfluous house of Tickford" and its wealth to Christ Church College, now a part of Oxford University. The "Issues of the House" were assessed at £57 11s 4d, the bells and lead at £33 6s 8d and the moveable goods at £5 4s 0d.
By the early 18th century, some former Tickford Priory buildings were still standing, but they were in poor condition. The current building on the site was built in the 18th Century. However, much of the fabric of this building is believed to have come from the Tickford Priory.
