 anHugh of Chacombe, lord of the manor of Chacombe, founded the priory in the reign of Henry II (1154–89).[1] on low-lying land just west of the village close to the stream.[2] Hugh gave the priory endowments including a yardland at South Newington.[3] In about 1225 the priory's property included eight tenements in Banbury, seven of which it retained until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s.[4] By the time of the Hundred Rolls in 1279 the priory owned a tenement in Warwick, where it expanded its holdings until it owned a substantial number of tenements and cottages by the time of the Dissolution.[5]

On 27 September 1535 Sir John Tregonwell reported to Thomas Cromwell:

At Chacombe the prior is newly come, and is competently well learned in Holy Scripture. He is bringing into some order his canons, who are rude and unlearned. I am only afraid that he is too familiar and easy with them.[6]

When the priory was suppressed in 1536[1] its property included land at Boddington, Northamptonshire,[7] Rotherby, Leicestershire[8] and Wardington, Oxfordshire,[9] and a tenement at Thorpe Mandeville.[10] Today the only visible remains of the priory are a small chapel apparently built in the 13th century[11] and a set of mediaeval fishponds.[1] However, at least three medieval stone coffin slabs, including one from the 13th century, have been found in the priory grounds.[2]

Part of the priory site is now occupied by a house, also called Chacombe Priory. The house has a large Elizabethan porch and a late 17th-century staircase, and was remodelled in the Georgian era.[1][11] The house is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
