On a country walk this week in the woods of Surrey, I passed Shulbrede Priory (pictured below).
What Wikipedia currently does not say – but my guidebook did – is that the priory was dissolved in 1536, with the King's Commissioner alleging that 26 whores were found living there.
I did not actually see a sign saying Shulbrede Priory, but it was so marked on the map and I assumed that was right. This was an a priory assumption.

Guilty as charged :D
10/10. Totally worth it.
