Within the House there is a beautiful Chapel thought to be all that remains of the original Priory Church. Some of its stained glass is mediaeval and Nicholas Pevsner has described the monument to Gregory Cromwell as "one of the purest monuments of the early Renaissance in England". The Chapel is used for daily worship by the resident community and guests, and is a great attraction for visitors.
