It was endowed by William son of Godfrey of Eddington in 1199. It was later known as St Stephens chapel and by 1312 a house of the Augustinian Canons Regular. In 1535 the priory was worth £6 5s. 2d.
The present day Church of St Philip and St James stands on the site of the Priory. It was built in 1838-9 by Richard Carver, the County Architect and Surveyor, and is a Grade II listed building.
