A unique Wedding Experience. The Priory Barn at Little Wymondley near Hitchin in Hertfordshire is a unique wedding venue where couples enjoy exclusive use for their day.
Overview
The Priory is a well established venue for weddings and private functions. In particular the special atmosphere of the barn and its surroundings provide a unique setting for a relaxed, informal wedding reception. Our whole approach is to create with you a memorable day - your day. We do not have set menus; all our menus are worked out with you to meet your particular requirements. Our chef has extensive experience of catering for functions and has developed a number of signature dishes. In a formal arrangement we can seat 150 people at round tables in the barn and park up to 60 cars. The Priory is licensed for civil wedding ceremonies. We have two locations - the gazebo for Summer weddings (weather permitting) and the barn.
History
The Priory barn was built in 1541 by James Needham, the King's carpenter. The barn is 100 feet long and 40 feet wide with nine bays on each side. Local oak cut down in the winter of 1540 was used in its construction. The huge trusses which support the weight of the enormous roof are of the Queen Post type with curved braces and jowelled posts to support them. The Priory itself was founded in about 1203 by Richard Argentein, a Norman knight associated with the order of warrior monks known as the Knights Templar who had their English headquarters not far away in Baldock. Wymondley Priory was an Augustinian foundation, the monks being known as Austin or Black Canons.
