Priory was founded in 1126 by the Bishop of Exeter and
became one of the wealthiest monasteries in Cornwall,
reaching its zenith in the 16th century. It was dedicated to
St. Stephen the Proto-Martyr. The building was flattened
during the Dissolution, and not found again until the late
19th Century when the railway was being pushed through the
area, and the foundations of the old Priory were
discovered.
