The priory was one of the ten medieval Carthusian houses in England. It was first established at Hatherop, Gloucestershire in 1222 by William Longspee, Earl of Salisbury. The monks disliked the location, and on Longspee's death in 1226 they petitioned his countess for a new site to achieve greater solitude. She gave them her manors of Hinton and Norton St Philip in Somerset, and the new house was consecrated at a site about 0.6 miles northeast of the village of Hinton in May 1232. It was called Locus Dei meaning 'God's Place'.
