Hurley Priory, Benedictine priory in Hurley, United Kingdom
The priory stands on the banks of the River Thames, with its original Norman church structure serving as the current parish church of Hurley.
Geoffrey de Mandeville I established the priory in 1086 as a cell of Westminster Abbey, which operated until Henry VIII ordered its suppression in 1536.
The remaining monastic buildings include a circular dovecote, a large barn from the fourteenth century, and the frater now integrated into a private residence.
The church section of St Mary The Virgin opens daily from 8 AM to 4 PM, allowing visitors to explore the preserved Norman windows and doorways.
The former priory hostelry continues operations as the Olde Bell Inn, maintaining its status as one of Britain's oldest functioning inns.
