caption_attribution_description: English: Hirst Priory south facing aspect with balcony overlooking the lawned gardens with an uninterupted view of the countryside thanks to its Haha landscape feature.
context_page_description: Hirst Priory is an attractive early to mid 18th century country house in the parish of Belton on the Isle of Axholme. It is set within its own grounds in the North Lincolnshire countryside. It was built upon the site of a 12th-century Augustinian priory, from which it takes its name.
  Up until the early 1990s, Hirst Priory had been a family residence, firstly built for the Stovin family, and extended by their relatives, the Listers, in the 19th century. In 1903, the property was sold and occupied by D. Stubley, who bought it in 1903 for the princely sum of £18,000. In the early 1990s, Hirst Priory was bought by a development group with a view to developing the site in to a hotel and leisure complex; these plans did not bear fruit and the house was left for the most part empty.
  In 2014, Hirst Priory was converted to a wedding and events venue with renovation work carried out to ensure the preservation of the Grade II listed building.
