Medieval And 16th Century Settlement

Ironically some of the best information regarding the priory comes at the end of its life, when the institution's assets were listed following its dissolution. As well as the main conventual complex, a dove-cote, dairy and barns were listed plus a field known as the 'well field', which presumably contained the Lady's Well, and 100 acres of 'poor upland pasture' (see Survey 1). At this stage the township contained ten houses and a mill. This compares with the four customary tenancies, comprising 3 houses and a mill, listed in the 1604 Border survey of the royal manor of Harbottle, when Holystone was said to have 1 acre of meadow, just over 10 acres of arable, 20 acres of pasture (see Selected Sources and Surveys 4).
