Ewenny Priory

Ewenny Priory Ewenny Priory has been described as the most complete and impressive Norman building in Wales, a perfect setting for a wedding or any other event

Founded in 1141 as a Benedictine cell to the Abbey of Gloucester, Ewenny Priory consists of a Norman Church and surrounding fortifications dating back to 1116. Its unique features include the 12th century wall-paintings, the monastic transept and presbytery (painted by JMW Turner in c 1797), the medieval fish pond and the Columbarium (with accommodation for a thousand birds and perhaps the largest

dovecot in Wales). Since the dissolution of the monasteries this ‘hidden treasure of Wales’ has been privately owned and, for the past 300 years, home to the Picton-Turbervill family. The grounds of the Priory will provide unique and magnificent surroundings for a wedding celebration within the walls of a Norman castle. Combined with this there is also the potential (subject to qualifying conditions) for the couple to be married in the Priory Church which has been a place of worship for almost 900 years.
