flag Neasham Abbey, a 250-year-old Grade II listed country home near Darlington, is for sale for £3.4 million. flag The property, set on over nine acres with River Tees fishing rights, was built in 1770 on the site of a 12th-century Benedictine priory founded by Emma, widow of Ralph de Tees. flag Though no physical remains of the priory survive—its stones were reused by locals—the site holds historical significance. flag The priory was dissolved in 1540, and its last prioress, Jane Lawson, secured pensions for the nuns before selling the land. flag Three relics from the priory endure: two medieval knight effigies in All Saints Church, Hurworth; the Neasham Cross in Durham Cathedral; and a ruined archway on the A67. flag The house, long associated with the Lawson family, features modern amenities including a gym, sauna, cinema, and wine cellar, alongside original Georgian details like high ceilings and wood panelling.
