Barnwell Priory, Medieval Augustinian priory in Cambridge, England.
The Cellarer's Chequer remains as the last standing structure of the former priory complex, featuring 13th-century architectural elements near St Andrew the Less church.
Founded in 1092 by Picot of Cambridge and his wife Hugolina following her recovery from illness, the priory expanded from six monks to thirty during its peak.
The priory maintained strong connections with Cambridge University, supporting theological studies and operating an almonry school for local education.
The Grade II listed building sits on Beche Road, with remnants of the original structure found in Abbey House walls, cellar, and gardens.
Medieval kings including John, Edward I, and Edward II visited the priory, which hosted an English Parliament session in 1388.
