Barrow Camera, Medieval monastery in Barrow upon Trent, England.
The Barrow Camera monastery stands between the River Trent and the Trent and Mersey Canal in South Derbyshire, reflecting medieval ecclesiastical architecture.
The Knights Hospitaller managed this religious establishment from 1165 until 1540, contributing to its development during the medieval period.
St Wilfrid's Church, part of the monastery complex, contains England's earliest alabaster effigy of a priest, depicting John de Belton.
The monastery grounds connect to a network of local walking paths, allowing visitors to explore the surrounding Derbyshire countryside and canal system.
The monastic site maintains ten Grade II listed cottages called 'The Row', which the parish council rents exclusively to individuals with village connections.
