Priory of St. Andrews of the Ards

Today virtually nothing remains of the abbey, apart from the Church of St Andrew, which also served the village, and the dovecote.

The Priory of St. Andrews of the Ards (Blackabbey) was a Benedictine Abbey at Stogursey in Somerset.

Originally the area was known as Stoke and by 1086 was owned by William de Falaise following the Norman Conquest.

To preserve the Falaise family's association with Normandy the priory was donated as a cell to the Benedictine Abbey of St Mary at Lonlay.
