Priston

Priston is a civil parish and village 4 miles (6 km) south west of Bath in the English county of Somerset.
Priston is the site of a Roman villa dating from about 100 AD. A coffin from this site was discovered in 1917.
Priston Mill was given by the monks of Bath Abbey in 931. It is powered by a 25 feet (8 m) overshot water wheel. The present building dates from the late 18th or early 19th century and is maintained in working condition. The associated tithe barn was built around 1700 and is currently used as a wedding and conference venue.
Priston was the site of a mine on the Somerset coalfield. The mine closed in 1930.
