Gresley Priory, Augustinian priory in Church Gresley, England.
The remains of Gresley Priory include the lower section of the church tower and foundations arranged around a southern cloister.
William de Gresley established this religious institution during King Henry I's reign, which operated until its dissolution in 1536 under Henry VIII.
The priory church transformed into Saint George and Saint Mary's Church, receiving Grade II* listed status for its architectural significance.
The site features a ring of six bells in the tower, with two originating from 1639 and others cast by notable manufacturers.
A member of the Gresley family exchanged the Church of Lullington's advowson in 1245 for continuous prayers in the conventual church.
