In 1086 there were 12 canons. St Giles in Ludford was a chapel of the priory.
From 1258, the Priory was under the control of Gloucester Abbey: one of the priors of Bromfield, Henry Foliot, subsequently became Abbot of Gloucester.
In 1538, as part of the dissolution of the monasteries, the priory was closed; the priory house was acquired in 1541 by Charles Foxe. It remained the Foxe family home until it burned down in the 17th century. [2]
