Full Description
The priory of Holme or Holne, a cell of the Cluniac Priory of Montacute, Somerset, was founded towards the middle of the 12th century by Robert de Lincoln (2) although Grahame gives a date of circa 1107. The priory cell was intended to maintain thirteen monks but the endowments apparently proved insufficient; there was a prior with two monks in 1279. The cell was dissolved on the surrender of Montacute Priory in 1539. Holme Priory House of two storeys with attics and cellars has walls rendered in stucco, and stands on the site of the Cluniac Priory. A small building now forming part of the kitchen (north)wing was built in the late 16th century probably reusing material from the former priory. <1-2> <4-6>
