Abstract:		 Originally the site of a leper hospital in the early 12th century, it became a priory in c1180-1184 and remained so until the Dissolution and was seized by the Crown in 1537. Conishead Priory estates were incorporated into the Duchy of Lancaster and later leased to Thomas Stanley, the second Lord Monteagle. In 1547, Conishead was granted to Sir William Paget After passing through the families of John Machell, the Doddings and Bradyll's, and finally, in 1818 to his his son, Thomas Richmond Gale Braddyll. In 1821 Thomas rebuilt the hall; in 1847 Braddyll went bankrupt and Conishead sold off. The Priory was bought by a Scottish syndicate that converted it into a spa hotel. In 1925 the estate was bought the Durham Miners Welfare Committee in 1929, and used as a convalescent home until 1970. The Priory buildings remained empty until 1976 when it was bought by the Manjushri Kadampa Buddhist community. In 1996 a new Buddhist temple was built in the grounds. A list of the different elements of the landscape associated with and surrounding Conishead Priory is compiled here. These sites features such as the grotto, hermitage, and sham castle, to agricultural features and other earthworks such as ridge and furrow, culverts, and systems of ditches. More ancient remains are also represented, some only as field names such as the site of the Priory mill and a rabbit warren, and others as physical remains that have been investigated such as the 'Streetgate', a possible Roman road.
