Leeds Priory, Medieval monastery in Leeds, England.

The priory church displayed Norman architecture with Kentish Ragstone walls and Caen stone corners, featuring a sophisticated vaulted entrance porch design.

The Augustinian canons established Leeds Priory on January 17, 1101, operating under Robert de Crevequer's patronage until its dissolution in 1539.

Canon Thomas Hazlewood contributed to medieval literature by writing historical texts, including A Compendious Chronicle, during his residence at Leeds Priory.

The priory grounds underwent archaeological investigations in 1846 and 1973, revealing structural foundations and architectural elements from different construction periods.

A medieval dovecote, connected to the subsequent mansion built on the priory grounds, remains listed on the Historic England Heritage at Risk Register.
