Shulbrede Priory is situated in the hamlet of Linchmere, near Haslemere in Surrey. It was founded in 1190 for Canons following the rule of St Augustine, and was dedicated to St Mary, the Holy Cross and St Eustace. After the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII, the remaining buildings became a farmhouse and the Manor for the district. Yeomen and tenants of the Cowdray Estate lived here until the Ponsonby family came in 1902.
The house and garden are open to the public on four afternoons a year, during the late May Bank holiday and at the end of August.
