Mattersey Priory, Medieval priory ruins in Mattersey, England.
The stone remains include foundations of the church, arches from the canons' refectory, monastic kitchen structures, and sections of a fifteenth-century tower.
Roger FitzRalph established this Gilbertine monastery in 1185, which operated until its surrender during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in October 1538.
The priory belonged to the Gilbertine Order, the sole English monastic order, and maintained space for six to ten male canons throughout its operation.
Visitors need to walk one mile down Abbey Road from Mattersey village to reach the site, as there is no direct vehicle access to the priory.
The priory stood on a gravel island in the River Idle, with marshland surrounding the religious complex during its active period.
