Chacombe Priory, Medieval priory in Chacombe, United Kingdom.

The limestone and ironstone structure displays a two-storey E-plan layout with nine bays and separately roofed wings facing south.

Founded in 1101 as an Augustinian priory, the complex underwent substantial modifications during the Tudor period and early Georgian era.

The priory contains grand architectural elements, including twisted columns, balustraded parapets, and an open-well staircase from 1700.

The Grade II* listed building maintains its original stone fireplaces from the 16th century and decorative plaster cornices from the 18th century.

Medieval stone coffin slabs discovered in the priory grounds provide evidence of burial practices from the thirteenth century.
