Clare Priory was founded in 1248. The building now in use as the chapel of the
Priory was originally the Infirmary and was made into a barn in 1748. In 1953
the Augustinian Order of Friars returned to the Priory and the Infirmary (barn)
then became a chapel for the Order. There is a C20 tablet recording that here
(Clare Priory) were buried Joan of Acre, Countess of Gloucester and daughter
of Edward I and Eleanor of Castile, who died in 1305; also Lionel Duke of Clarence,
son of Edward III and Phillipa of Hainault, who died in 1368; and his wife Elizabeth,
grand-daughter of Joan of Acre, who died in 1363. A C14 rubble building with
