St Osyth’s Priory, Essex

Handmade Light Antique Barco Pantiles for prestigious Heritage Site

St Osyth’s priory has a long and fascinating history which dates back centuries with many prestige members of the monarchy, lords and ladies owning the priory during this time.

In 1642 the house was left for ruin, and it wasn’t until half a century later that work began to restore it to its original grandeur. Comprising of a remarkable collection of Grade I and Grade II listed buildings set within Grade II listed grounds.

In 1999 the priory was purchased by the Sargeant family, by this point it was in desperate need of essential works. After the family’s great deal of work into securing the future of this prestigious heritage site work was able to begin to restore this exceptional property back to its former glory. William Blyth is honoured to have been specified for this project, supplying our Light Antique Old English Barco Pantiles and fittings which we are still supplying for various new builds and restoration work on this ongoing project.
