Monmouth Priory, Medieval monastery in Monmouth, Wales
The priory features a notable mid-15th-century oriel window with three carved corbels depicting different figures in the architectural design.
Founded in 1075 by Withenoc, a Breton lord of Monmouth, the priory was granted to the Abbey of St Florent at Saumur and consecrated in 1101.
The medieval structure incorporates the prior's lodgings and maintains connections to Welsh religious heritage through its architectural elements and stone carvings.
The building now functions as a community center, offering spaces for weddings, conferences, and exhibitions in the heart of Monmouth.
A wall tapestry created by 14 volunteers over 2,750 hours illustrates the life of Geoffrey of Monmouth within the priory walls.
