caption_attribution_description: English: The Priory, Chacombe, Northamptonshire. The priory was founded here by Hugh de Chacombe, lord of the manor of Chalcombe in the reign of Henry II. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century it was replaced by a house, which was then remodelled in the 18th century.
context_page_description: Chacombe is an English village and civil parish in South Northamptonshire, about 3 miles north-east of the Oxfordshire town of Banbury. It is bounded to the west by the River Cherwell, to the north by a tributary stream and to the south-east by the Banbury–Syresham road. The 2011 Census gave the parish population as 659.
context_section_description: Hugh of Chalcombe, lord of the manor of Chacombe, founded the Augustinian Chacombe Priory in the reign of Henry II (1154–1189). It was just west of the present village.
  In 1536 the Priory was suppressed in the Dissolution of the Monasteries and passed all its properties to the Crown. The only visible remains of it are a small chapel apparently built in the 13th century and a set of medieval fishponds, although at least three medieval stone coffin slabs, one from the 13th century, have been found in the priory grounds.
  Part of the priory site is now occupied by a house, also called Chacombe Priory. The house has a large Elizabethan porch and a late 17th-century staircase, and was remodelled in the Georgian era.
