Blyth Priory, Benedictine priory in Blyth, England
The remains of Blyth Priory include architectural elements from the 11th century, featuring Norman construction techniques and subsequent medieval modifications to its structure.
Roger de Busli established Blyth Priory in 1088 as an alien house connected to St Katherine's Abbey in Rouen, France, during the period of Norman influence.
The priory functioned as a center of learning where monks maintained manuscripts, conducted religious services, and provided education to the local community.
The priory grounds, now designated as a scheduled monument, contain archaeological remains beneath a housing estate in the village of Blyth, Nottinghamshire.
The priory church transformed into the parish church of St. Mary and St. Martin after the dissolution, preserving elements of the original monastic architecture.
