The priory was situated behind the town hall, on the site of what is now the car park. The castellated gothic building dated mainly from 1802-4, but incorporating parts of an earlier house, with further additions and alterations from about 1850. The Gardens to the south were taken for housing, and for the factory of Neville's Bakery. The house itself, with a small part of the garden, was bought by the Conservative party in 1885 and opened in 1886 as the Priory Constitutional Club. The gardens to the north were acquired by the Acton council for the Baths, and later for the municipal offices. The remains of the priory building were demolished in the 1980's.
