Down to two canons by 1381 and dissolved eight years later, West Ravendale was a small Premonstratensian cell answering to Beauport Abbey in Brittany. One rectangular building survives on a low mound — most likely the chapel that stood outside the priory gates — with parts of the north and east walls still up at around 2.5m in chalk and flint rubble. Nothing is roofed and there has been no worship here for six centuries. It stands in farmland by Priory Farm with no public right of way, so it is one to admire from the edge. The Ship Inn is a few miles north.
