This piece depicts Lady Place Hurley Berks, which was associated wtih the Priory of St. Mary at Hurley , ounded in 1086 by the Norman magnate Geoffrey de Mandeville I as a cell of Westminster Abbey.

The Priory was suppressed by Henry VIII in 1536, and ownership was transferred to Westminster Abbey. In 1540 Westminster Abbey was dissolved and the Hurley Priory property passed into lay hands.

The main Abbey property became known as Lady Place. It was initially owned by Charles Howard, Esq., for three years, then by Leonard Chamberleyn, Esq., then by John Lovelace, Esq. It was used as the residence of the Barons Lovelace.[2] Lady Place was considered one of the great mansions in town, but it fell into disrepair and was demolished as uninhabitable in 1837. less
