Butley Priory

Just a short two hour drive out of London lies this hidden gem of 14th century architecture, amongst lush greenery that many think would be impossible to find so close to the capital.

With on-site accommodation, multiple ceremony rooms, and sprawling grounds suitable for a marquee, Butley Priory is more than just a historical building. It's a complete venue, that mixes beautiful architecture with practical convenience.

About

Butley Priory was originally built in the early 1300s. It originally comprised of a collection of buildings, spanning 20 acres of land, all enclosed with in a stone wall. Over the years it played host to royals and noble men and women. However, being such a large manor, it slowly began to fall into disrepair.

In the early 20th century, Dr Montague Rendell took it upon himself to restore the property to its former glory. In 2016 Butley Priory was named by Vogue Online as one of the best Airbnb wedding venues in the world.

    Me and my husband were fortunate enough to celebrate our wedding day at this gorgeous place. Such character, charm and charisma, needless to say we had the most special day ever! Special thanks to Sarah, Clare and all the staff who helped to make it that much more perfect. We look forward to celebrating many more occasions there.
