A conservation project at Dunstable's Grade II listed Priory House has uncovered 800 years of hidden history, including nationally important wall paintings, sealed medieval doorways and protective marks used to ward off evil spirits. Scientific tests confirm the structure dates to the early-to-mid 13th century, originally part of Dunstable Priory and used as a guest house for travellers on Watling Street. The restoration, supported by £1.14 million from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and £684,312 from Historic England, has revealed five layers of wall paintings from Tudor to Jacobean periods, apotropaic 'witch marks' on timber, and links to the 19th-century straw-hat industry via woven straw plaiting. Discoveries have changed historical understanding of the building, which is expected to reopen as a community heritage hub and tourist information centre in early 2027.
