Dean Prior is best known for its association with Robert Herrick, who was vicar there 1629-47 and 1662-74 (he was ejected under the Protectorate and reinstated under the Act of Uniformity) and wrote all his poetry during his earlier tenure of the living. He and his maid, Prudence Baldwin, are buried in unmarked graves in the churchyard. Herrick hated Dean Prior and Devonshire, but his poetry is full of local scenes and above all of the wild flowers that grow so luxuriantly in the woods and hedge banks. The small hall, parlour, and kitchen of his vicarage remain, incorporated into the back of a more modern house. Near the church is Dean Court, said to have been erected by Sir Edward Giles (1566-1637) whose monument, with an epitaph by Herrick, is within.
