Lammana Priory, Medieval priory ruins near Looe, England
The remains of Lammana Priory include stone foundations of two chapels, one situated on Looe Island and another on the mainland coast.
The priory, established in 1144 under Glastonbury Abbey ownership, functioned with two Benedictine monks until its sale to Walter of Treverbyn in 1289.
The priory complex incorporated a dedicated refectory where religious pilgrims gathered during Michaelmas celebrations and ceremonies throughout the medieval period.
The mainland chapel ruins can be accessed via coastal paths, while the island chapel requires boat transportation, available from Looe harbor during suitable weather.
Archaeological excavations in 2008 revealed the presence of two separate chapel structures connected by a building known as the Monk's House.
