Upholland Priory, Medieval Benedictine priory in Up Holland, England
The stone remains of Up Holland Priory stand within the grounds of the Church of St Thomas the Martyr, displaying medieval architectural elements.
Sir Robert de Holland established the priory in 1319 after converting a college of secular canons that he had founded nine years earlier.
The priory held daily masses for noble families and maintained responsibilities of prayer, scholarship, and care for the poor and sick in Lancashire.
