Add PhotosThe Domesday Book has a record of a gift of a carucate (approx 120 acres) of land in what was Walton, and now Stone, made by Achil, a freeman, to his sister. Robert de Stafford, Enisan of Walton Geoffret de CLinton, Ernald II de Walton and Nicholas de Stafford are all mentioned in it's lengthy but questionable history. The priory, dedicated to St Mary, was worth over a thousand marks during the visitation of 1518, yet fell to the dissolution, and was purchased by William Crompton, citizen and Mercer of London. Very little of the original priory still stands, but the subterranean vaults became the cellars of the current day Priory House on Lichfield Street., and the site also houses St Michael and St Wulfad's Church built in the 1750's using the priory's original stone.
