Llanthony Secunda, Medieval priory and scheduled monument in Gloucester, England
Llanthony Secunda is a medieval priory in Gloucester, identifiable today through stone walls, architectural fragments, and foundation remains. These structures spread across the grounds near the River Severn and reveal the layout of a former monastic community.
Llanthony Secunda was founded in 1136 by Miles de Gloucester as a refuge for Welsh canons fleeing violence at the original priory. This establishment shaped the region's religious landscape for centuries.
The Augustinian canons developed local craft traditions here, particularly in food production that supplied royal tables with cheese and prepared lamprey fish.
The site is accessible year-round and offers good vantage points near the Severn to view the architectural remains. Level pathways make it relatively easy to move around the various areas on the grounds.
Archaeological digs have uncovered evidence of medieval cheese-making facilities and specialized storage spaces at the site. These discoveries reveal the community's practical skills and economic activities.
