Description:This is part of a sub-vault of the western range of Stone Priory. It is incorporated in the cellars of the large Georgian house called The Priory, which stands on Lichfield Street, just to the south of St. Michael & St. Wulfad's Church.
The Augustinian Priory at Stone was founded in the 12th century, possibly around 1138-47, and was set up as a daughter-house of Kenilworth Priory in Warwickshire. It was a small community, with 8 canons and two novices in 1521. The house was dissolved in Spring 1537 and the site purchased by William Crompton, citizen and mercer of London.
The Priory Church continued to be used as the Parish Church until it was demolished and replaced by the current church of St. Michael & St. Wulfad in 1758.
