The Priory was founded shortly after 1120 by Richard de Belmeis, Bishop of London, as a house for Augustinian canons from Holy Trinity, London. The Priory was dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, and St Osyth and became an abbey before 1161.These abbey buildings survive to varying degrees of intactness, the most prominent today being the gatehouse and the Abbot's Lodging, both reflecting the abbey's wealth in the late medieval period.
