Background
History
The priory was founded by Henry I in 1124. The foundation charter granted <blockquote> to God and the church of St. Denis and the canons serving God there, for the health of his soul and of the souls of his father and mother, Maud his wife and William his son, a parcel of land between Portswood and the Itchen, having a rental of 11s. 6d., together with another parcel of land near the sea to the east of the borough, having a rental of 41s. 6d. </blockquote> A canon named Girard was named in the foundation charter and is assumed to have become the first prior.
Visiting
Only fragments of the priory buildings remain: a wall in a private garden in Priory Road, and a small archway re-sited in the garden of the Tudor House Museum. The present church is late Victorian and holds a few tiles and a coffin from the original site.
