History

Founded in around 1220, the Priory was a place for an order of Augustinian monks to reside for over 300 years. However, it fell victim to the Dissolution of the Monasteries decreed by Henry VIII in 1536. The foundations of the building still remain today. The property was granted to Richard Rich, the Earl of Warwick.

The grand redbrick mansion was built soon after King Henry's predations, constructed using materials from the original Priory, and it gained repute as one of the greatest Tudor mansions in Essex. Many noblemen and royalty visited the house, including Queen Elizabeth I, enjoying Leez Priory for its sheer tranquillity.

Facilities

Leez Priory has no less than seven separate areas licensed for civil ceremonies. These include The Tower, The Great Hall and The Coach House, plus an additional four exterior alternatives.

Civil ceremony capacity - 60 to 110 guests

Couples can enjoy exclusive use of the whole mansion for their entire day, meaning that there are various areas in which their formal wedding breakfast and the following evening reception party can be celebrated. These include the Tudor Room, The Tower, The Great Hall, The Light Oak Room or a Disco Room.

Wedding breakfast capacity - 110 guests
Evening reception capacity - 250 guests

Catering

Leez Priory boasts contemporary dining options and offers the chance to create a completely bespoke menu. The chefs make use of local produce whenever practicable, including herbs and vegetables grown in their very own garden. The range of food presented includes a formal dinner or hog-roast and barbecue options, delicious canapés and mouthwatering desserts, all of which can be adapted to fit with specific dietary requirements.

Accommodation

Leez Priory contains 15 bedrooms for the exclusive use of the wedding party, perfect accommodation for family and friends. The Granary Bridal Suite has a four-poster bed and spa bath, and a full English breakfast is presented to all the following day.

The Fisherman's Cottage is available to help your pre-wedding preparation and the entire bridal party are invited to indulge in a girly pamper session during the evening before, followed by a champagne breakfast on the wedding morning. Alternatively, there are dressing rooms in the main house, so the bride and her maids can watch the guests arriving in the inner courtyard.
