Coxford Priory was founded in East Rudham village and moved to its present site (NHER 3632) in 1216.
Is this the original priory church?
E. Rose (NLA), 3 July 1992.

But [1] suggests it is the site of Boycodeswade Hospital (see NHER 3634).
If so, where was the 'wade' or ford?
However [1] later abandoned idea and suggests instead it is the site of a second parish church of East Rudham, see notes in file.
