| From the
historic work of the by the brothers, Samuel and Nathaniel Buck, Views
of Ruins of Castles & Abbeys in England, 1726-1739. Samuel and
Nathaniel Buck were the most important topographical artists of the
18th century, creating a record of over 500 ancient monuments &
towns in England and Wales. Many of these monuments had been devastated
during the course of the Reformation, particularly during the period
when Oliver Cromwell ruled England as "Lord Protector." The Bucks
Views, as they have become known, provide an invaluable record of these
magnificent buildings, some of which have seen further deterioration
during the 275 years that have since passed.
Samuel & Nathaniel Buck"Buck's
Views" as they were called are 428 views of the ruins of all noted
abbeys, castles, together with four views of seats and eighty-three
large general views of the chief cities and towns of England and Wales.

The site of the priory and the
house known as 'Le Pryors Lodging', including the buildings and gardens
on the site and with messuages and lands in Clack, closes and woods of
100 acres in Lyneham parish were leased to Sir Henry Long. However, in
October 1546 they were granted in fee to Richard Pexsall, kings
servant. Of the buildings themselves, the prior's lodging was between
the guest hall and the church. Prior Thomas Walshe had rebuilt it in
1490 and it was pulled down in the early part of the 19th century.
Worse was yet to come when in 1930 the western range of the cloister,
which included the guest house and prior's lodging was totally removed
along with the tithe barn to St. Donat's castle in Glamorgan by William
Randolph Hearst. John Aubrey had described the priory as "very well
built, with good strong ribs" and having a cellar, "the stateliest in
Wiltshire". However, in 1666 he commented that, "the very fundations of
this fair church are now, 1666, digged up."14th
century undercrofts and a tower. . . the remains were left by Hearst in
numbered boxes in storage in the USA . . they are still there . .
