Kirby Bellars Priory, Medieval priory site in Kirby Bellars, England.
The stone remains of Kirby Bellars Priory include earthworks north of the churchyard and the Parish Church of Saint Peter's standing structure.
Roger de Beler established the religious complex in 1316 as a college for twelve priests, which Alice Beller transformed into an Augustinian priory in 1359.
The priory managed multiple churches in the region, including Saint John the Baptist Buckminster and All Saints Clipston, extending its religious influence.
The preserved priory grounds contain visible archaeological features and structural elements that demonstrate medieval ecclesiastical architecture in Leicestershire.
A substantial fire in the early 1500s damaged the domestic buildings, leading to restoration efforts supported by religious indulgences granted in 1511.
