Lenton Priory, Medieval priory ruins in Lenton, England
Located near central Nottingham, the remains include a stone column standing on grass grounds near the Queens Medical Centre medical facility.
William Peveril, constable of Nottingham Castle, founded this Cluniac monastery in 1108 during the reign of King Henry I of England.
The priory controlled multiple churches, mills, and fisheries across several counties, making it a central religious institution in medieval Nottinghamshire.
Archaeological excavations continue at the site, revealing new findings such as an unrecorded medieval wall discovered in 2020.
The monks armed themselves in 1250 and attempted to steal wool and lambs from Tideswell parish, resulting in legal consequences.
