Llanthony Secunda, Medieval priory and scheduled monument in Gloucester, England

The remaining structures of Llanthony Secunda include stone walls, architectural elements, and foundations spread across the grounds near the River Severn.

Miles de Gloucester established Llanthony Secunda in 1136 as a refuge for Welsh canons who fled from attacks at the original Llanthony Priory.

The Augustinian canons of Llanthony Secunda maintained traditions of producing cheese and preparing lamprey fish dishes for English monarchs.

The restored priory grounds open to visitors throughout the year, offering guided tours and educational programs about medieval monastic life.

Archaeological excavations at Llanthony Secunda revealed evidence of cheese production facilities and specialized storage areas from the medieval period.
