Note: The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built as an Augustinian nunnery for a prioress and ten nuns. It was founded before 1238 by the de Bohun family of St. Ann?s Hill in nearby Midhurst, probably by John de Bohun who fought at Crecy.It may have been refounded in the 15th century and became Benedictine. In 1536, following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Easebourne Priory was granted to William FitzWilliam, 1st Earl of Southampton, along with other properties. Claustral remains are now incorporated into a Grade I listed house built on the south side of St Mary's church. The restored refectory is now in parochial use.[ [For all of our prints by Francis Grose enter PRBGROSE in Key words] [QP]. Seller Inventory # 010082
