Hinton Priory, Medieval priory in Hinton Charterhouse, England.
The remains of Hinton Priory include preserved sections of the chapter house, library, dovecote, and refectory, which demonstrate medieval architectural methods and construction.
Founded in 1227 by the Carthusian Order, Hinton Priory operated until 1539 when it was dissolved during the English Reformation under King Henry VIII.
The Carthusian monastery housed a community of sixteen monks and six lay brothers who followed strict ascetic practices in their dedicated living quarters.
The site maintains protected status as a scheduled monument, requiring special permissions for any modifications or conservation work to preserve its structural integrity.
The surrounding orchard and paddocks contain visible earthworks that outline the layout of the great cloister, revealing the original dimensions of the monastic complex.
