Morville Priory, Medieval priory in Morville, England
The stone structures of Morville Priory stand on agricultural land between Bridgnorth and Much Wenlock in Shropshire, next to Morville Hall.
Founded in 1101, Morville Priory operated as a Benedictine monastery cell of Shrewsbury Abbey until its dissolution in 1540 during the reformation period.
The priory transformed from a Saxon minster with eight canons into a religious center that collected tithes and managed several dependent chapels in the region.
The priory grounds contain architectural elements from the 12th century, with some original stones incorporated into the current structures at the location.
During its final years, the priory functioned as a diocesan guest house, providing accommodation for traveling bishops who documented their expenses during their stays.
