Shelford Priory, Augustinian monastery in Shelford, England
The religious complex stood on the south bank of the River Trent, featuring multiple buildings for religious practice and agricultural activities.
Ralph Haunselyn established the priory between 1160 and 1180, which operated until its dissolution by Henry VIII in 1536.
The priory maintained religious relics including the reported girdle of the Virgin Mary and oil from the True Cross.
By 1534, the priory controlled numerous churches and owned land across multiple counties, generating an annual income of 151 pounds.
King Edward II visited the priory twice, making appearances in both 1317 and 1319 during his reign.
