Snelshall Priory, Medieval Benedictine priory ruins in Whaddon, England.
The remnants of Snelshall Priory include a moated site with boundary ditches spanning 268 meters in length and 210 meters in width.
Founded around 1200 through land granted by Sybil d'Aungerville, the priory operated until 1535 when it was surrendered to The Crown during the dissolution.
The site contains archaeological evidence of medieval monastic life, including fishponds that demonstrate traditional food production methods of religious communities.
The scheduled monument status protects the earthworks and archaeological features visible through aerial photography for research and preservation purposes.
After the priory's closure, its stones were extracted and reused in the construction of St Giles's Church in nearby Tattenhoe.
