3 unusual facts about Alvingham Priory


Alvingham Priory

St Adelwold's church (the parish church of Alvington) is the only church in England which is dedicated to St. Adelwold.

St Mary's Church was originally a chapel belonging to the priory.

In a few years the convent possessed lands in Alvingham, Cockerington, and Calthorp, and the churches of St. Adelwold, Alvingham, and St. Mary, Cockerington, which stood in the same churchyard, within the precinct of the priory, and the churches of St. Leonard, Cockerington, Cawthorpe, Keddington, and Newton.
