Haltemprice Priory, Medieval monastery in Willerby, England.

The farmhouse structure displays red brick walls with stone accents, featuring a pantiled roof and three-light sliding sash windows on the first floor.

Originally established in 1301, Haltemprice Priory functioned as an Augustinian monastery until its dissolution by Henry VIII's commissioners in August 1536.

The Augustinian canons at Haltemprice Priory maintained a community of nine members and forty servants, focusing on religious education and pastoral duties.

The Grade II* listed building underwent extensive rebuilding and refurbishment between 2021 and 2022, transforming the former derelict structure into a residential property.

Thomas Wake's foundation charter of 1325 granted the priory control over market tolls, church appointments, and several manors in the surrounding region.
