Maxstoke Priory, Medieval monastery ruins in Maxstoke, England
The stone remains of Maxstoke Priory include a central tower, two gateways, and sections of the infirmary, displaying medieval architectural elements from the 14th century.
Sir William de Clinton established the priory in 1330, initially as a college of priests, before transforming it into an Augustinian monastery through a royal license in 1336.
The monastery maintained a choir school and contained an organ during the fifteenth century, indicating its role in medieval religious education and musical traditions.
The Inner Gatehouse operates as a bed and breakfast establishment, while the Outer Gatehouse provides access to the farm area surrounding the historical structures.
The drip mouldings above the central window of the Outer Gatehouse feature carved busts depicting a knight with lowered visor and a monk.
