Panfield Priory, Medieval priory ruins in Panfield, Essex, England.

The priory foundations lie north of Great Priory Farm, with no remaining structures visible above ground at the historical site.

Founded between 1069 and 1070 by Waleran Fitz Ranulph, this Augustinian priory operated as a small alien house dependent on St Etienne Abbey in Caen.

The religious institution maintained connections with Canterbury Cathedral, receiving official property transfer to Christchurch Canterbury in 1472 after its dissolution.
