Additional Info  The Priory started life as Abbotsleigh House, built during 1847. It took its name from "The Abbots Land", the land having belonged to the Abbot of Sherborne. The house and land was then purchased by the Catholic Church in 1860 and became the centre around which the new Priory of St Augustine was built. Joseph Hanson (famously known for his interest in Hanson cabs), prepared the plans to create buildings to accommodate 50 nuns. These plans are still available for inspection at the Priory.
