Woodspring Priory, Medieval priory in Kewstoke, England.
The priory buildings include a church, infirmary, barn, and prior's lodging, situated near the limestone promontory of Sand Point and Middle Hope.
William de Courtney established the priory in 1201 as a community of Victorine Canons, which operated until Henry VIII's dissolution of monasteries in 1536.
The architectural elements of the Grade I listed buildings represent the evolution of medieval ecclesiastical construction methods through several centuries.
The National Trust manages the property while the Landmark Trust maintains the converted farmhouse, which visitors can rent for holiday accommodations.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed 14th-century floor tiles concealing coffins beneath, providing insights into medieval burial practices.
