Description :
The building which is now Court Farm has late-medieval (late C15th?) monastic origins and was possibly part of the Prior's lodgings. Following the dissolution it passed into secular use and was remodelled in earlier C19th.
Llanthony was a priory of Augustinian Canons that was founded c1108-1118 but after 1136 there was a gradual move to the new settlement of Llanthony Secunda at Gloucester. The priory church is late C12th.
L-plan, 2-storeys and attic. The coursed rubble elevations incorporate a substantial amount o medieval masonry and have stone-tile roofs with stone chimney stacks.
Interior on ground floor is of the late-Georgian remodelling with 6-panel doors and openwell staircase with reeded uprights. An older, probably late C17th, 2-light window is retained within the airing cupboard at the back of the stairwell and has ogee-moulded mullion and transom; another early window remains near the attic landing.
The principle interest of this building is found within the cross-range where there is the significant evidence for the former existence of a grand late med ceiling with a level of enrichment to indicate an important priory building. Also has a C13th window.

Seventeenth century house with probable sixteenth century origins, successor to the priory's home farm occupying the monastic court alongside the priory precinct. 1799 letting included the mill and Bradley ucha. Small blocks of fields on edges of the holding named as Abbey Holding on 1953 Llanthony Estate map (Procter 2018).
