Cardigan Priory, Medieval priory church in Cardigan, Wales.
The priory church features Norman architectural elements, including a reconstructed porch from 1639 and a tower rebuilt in 1748 after its collapse.
Founded in 1101 by Robert FitzMartin, the priory served as a Benedictine monastery until its dissolution in 1538 during the religious reforms.
The church houses a 1924 stained glass window depicting the Crucifixion with Virgin Mary and St John, plus fragments of 15th-century glass.
The building maintains its original function as an active parish church within the united benefice of Bro Teifi, serving the local congregation.
The site contained the shrine of Our Lady of the Taper during the 13th century, which remained until the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
