Bilsington Priory, Medieval priory in Kent, England.
The architectural structure of Bilsington Priory features two stories connected by substantial transverse beams measuring 15.1 inches by 13 inches in dimension.
John Maunsell established Bilsington Priory in 1253, receiving support from Merton Priory canons who supplied the initial three religious leaders.
The medieval monastery operated as a center for religious education and provided hospital services to residents of the surrounding community.
Bilsington Priory now functions as a venue for weddings and conferences, offering visitors panoramic views across the Romney Marsh landscape.
The walls of Bilsington Priory contain preserved graffiti from Durham Light Infantry soldiers stationed in the region after the 1940 Dunkirk evacuation.
