Information The Priory is a well established venue for private functions. In particular the special atmosphere of the barn and its surroundings provide a unique setting for a relaxed, informal wedding reception. We can ensure exclusivity because we put on only one function at a time. Our whole approach is to create with you a memorable day - your day. We do not have set menus; all our menus are worked out with you to meet your particular requirements. Our chef has extensive experience of catering for functions and has developed a number of signature dishes. In a formal arrangement we can set 150 people at round tables in the barn and can park up to 100 cars. The Priory is licensed for civil ceremonies. We have two locations - the gazebo for Summer weddings (weather permitting) and the barn.	History The Priory barn was built in 1541 by James Needham, the King's carpenter. The barn is 100 feet long and 40 feet wide with nine bays on each side. Local oak, cut down in the winter of 1540 was used in its construction. The huge trusses which support the weight of the enormous roof are of the Queen Post type with curved braces and jowelled posts to support them. The Priory itself was founded in about 1290 by Richard Argentein, a Norman knight associated with the order of the warrior monks known as the Knights Templar who had their English headquarters not far away in Baldock. The Wymondley Priory was an Augustinian foundation, the monks being known as Austin or Black Cannons. Please Send An Email for further details or to make an appointment to view our venue.
