Burwell Priory, Benedictine priory in Burwell, Lincolnshire, England

The priory stands at coordinates 53.2964, 0.033865, situated within the village of Burwell along the main A16 road in East Lindsey district.

Constructed around 1110 by Ansgot of Burwell, the priory operated as a dependency of Grande-Sauve Abbey in Aquitaine until its dissolution in 1427.

The establishment maintained religious connections through chapels at Authorpe, Carlton, Muckton, and Walmgate, extending its influence across the region.

The priory lands transferred to Tattershall College following investigations that revealed structural deterioration and declining monastic presence.

During conflicts between England and France, the priory faced multiple seizures but continued operations after the Prior pledged allegiance to the English crown.
