At the Dissolution in 1539 Sherborne Abbey was surrendered to the king, and in 1547 it was granted to Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset. On Somerset's attainder it was granted to William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke.[2] The present Horton parish church, St Olfrida, was built on the site of the priory in the 18th century. No traces of the original priory remain.[1]
* John Hart or Herte alias Raynold, occurs on its surrender, 1539.[2][7]
