The building was once a Carthusian Monastery founded in 1385.

Many of the original buildings have been lost but the Priors House and Refectory remain. Inside are significant wall paintings dating back to 15th Century. The project involves repairing and re-presenting the buildings in a manner to enable public access. The grounds are extensive with significant archaeological features. The site forms a Scheduled Ancient Monument with buildings listed grade I.

The project has received a £4.38m Heritage Lottery Fund grant and was completed in 2022.
