| Full Description: The Priory Church of St Mary stands within the walls of Portchester Castle. It is believed to have been built about 1133, when Henry 1 granted a charter to an Augustinian Order of Canons from Normandy. The Canons only remained for a few years before moving to a new Priory in Southwick. The Priory gradually decayed until it was restored during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and Queen Anne. By the end of the 1800's, it was again in need of repair but another renovation occurred and it celebrated its 850th anniversary in 1983.
The church remains substantially as it was built in Norman times, except for the south transept which was demolished and the chancel which was curtailed. It has a magnificent west front with a great entrance door. The nave is long and gaunt, lit only by the original rounded Norman windows.
