Dudley Priory, Medieval monastic ruins in Dudley, England.
The stone remains of Dudley Priory stand within Priory Park, featuring architectural elements from its religious past including an archway to the Lady chapel.
Gervase Paganel established the priory in 1160 as a Cluniac monastery, which operated until its closure during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s.
The Grade I listed monument serves as a center for educational visits where students and visitors learn about medieval monastic life and local heritage.
The ruins are accessible through Priory Park, which provides parking facilities, restrooms, and a community café within walking distance from Dudley town center.
Archaeological excavations in 1939 by Rayleigh Radford uncovered medieval tiles and marked out the original wall layout of the religious complex.
