Tandridge Priory was originally a hospital founded in 1189–99 by Odo de Dammartin, and became an Augustinian priory in 1218. [1]
It was a small foundation of probably no more than five canons, whose chief duty was to pray for the priory's benefactors. [2] In the Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535, the clear annual value of the priory was £81 7s. 4d; this was less than a fifth of the larger Sheen Priory in the north of the county. [1] At that time, the priory held the rectory (church lands, tithes and donations) of Tandridge producing £13 6s. 8d, [1] the rectory of Crowhurst £8 6s, [1] and half the rectory of Godstone (alias Wolkensted) paying £3 11s. 8d. [1] John Lyngfield, the last prior, obtained a pension of £14. [1]
The priory was disbanded in 1538 as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries, which did away with almost all such institutions and enabled Henry VIII to expropriate their assets. [1]
