context_page_description: Michelham Priory is the site of a former Augustine Priory in Upper Dicker, East Sussex, England, United Kingdom. The surviving buildings are owned and administered by the Sussex Archaeological Society and are Grade I and Grade II listed.
  A T-shaped stone-built structure, the east and north wings date from the 13th century and the west wing from the 16th century. The north wing, originally the Priors Lodging, comprises three storeys with an attic and the other two wings two storeys. The roof is tiled. The whole is surrounded by a moat, enclosing an area of almost 8 acres.
  A watermill in the grounds of the priory has been restored to working order and is open to the public.
context_section_description: The gatehouse was built in the early 15th century, during the time when John Leem was prior. A basement at moat level served either as a cellar or prison. The building is about 50 feet (15 m) high and contains four storeys, including the cellar.
  In the 16th century, a stone bridge was built over the moat. The gatehouse and bridge are Grade I listed buildings.
