St. Botolph’s Priory in Colchester, Essex.
The monks’ living area was ransacked during Henry VIII’s reign, but he spared the communal building because the monks were very charitable and cared for the community. However, bad luck eventually befell this beautiful Priory when it was accidentally set on fire during the Civil War, when a flaming arrow was shot by the Parliamentarians towards the city and a piece of burning roof fell and caught the Priory on fire. The ruins are evidence of the oldest recorded town in Britain, with the town of Colchester being mentioned in writing in AD 79 by Pliny the Elder.
