Norton Priory is the former rectory of St Wilfrid's Chapel, Church Norton, West Sussex.[1] The building is claimed to be of mediaeval origin, but so altered that much of the history of its construction is speculation.[2] Some parts are from the 17th century, while a fireplace in the west wing bears the inscription "WL 1539".[2]
