Full description
A Benedictine priory, a cell of St Benoit-sur-Loire, founded before 1129 and granted by Ralph Earl of Chester. The earliest mention of a Prior is in 1213. The priory was dissolved in 1414. {1}{2}
The site of the alien priory of Minting, suppressed by 1403. The site was granted in 1421 to Mount Grace Priory, North Yorkshire, as a grange. The earthworks visible represent stock compounds, yards, ponds and the grange buildings within a small moat. A broad hollow way connects the moat to the village. The ponds have been cleaned out and enlarged, but the earthworks represent a well-preserved grange of late medieval type. {3}{4}
A geophysical survey comprising magnetometry and resistivity was conducted at Minting Priory on behalf of the Minting and Gautby Heritage Project in 2009. Although the extant earthworks were identified by both survey techniques, no other anomalies could be attributed with any degree of confidence to activity relating to the Medieval Priory. {5}
