BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Hurley is a small village and large, rural civil parish in Berkshire, England. Its riverside is agricultural, except for Hurley Priory, as are the outskirts of the village. The adjoining inn is believed to date to 1135. The former main priory building became a mansion known as Ladye Place, which stood adjoining the present parish church. It was the home of the Barons Lovelace. It was demolished in 1837 as uninhabitable. The first Ladye Place (sometimes spelt Lady Place) in Hurley was probably built in the reign of King Edward VI by John Lovelace who had purchased the manor, at the font in St. Paul's Cathedral, in 1545. It was converted from the infirmary of the old Priory of Hurley which had been dedicated to Our Lady St. Mary. John wrote his will at 'the mansion called Ladye Place' in 1558. His son, Richard Lovelace Senior, made a fortune as a pirate with Sir Francis Drake in the Caribbean and probably used the money to rebuild the house as a superb example of the typical H-plan building of the period. The house was then purchased by Hon. Henry Walker but stood empty and neglected for eleven years, before its final demolition in late 1837. The present building called Ladye Place is an old farm-house named after the original mansion just west of the parish church. Please explore my ebay shop for more antique prints.
