Kilburn Priory, Medieval priory ruins in Kilburn, London, England
The remnants of Kilburn Priory stand at the intersection of Watling Street and the Westbourne stream, marking a significant religious settlement from the 12th century.
Founded in 1101, Kilburn Priory began as a hermitage before transforming into a monastic community for nuns under Westminster Abbey's supervision.
The priory's influence extends through modern London street names, including Priory Road, Kilburn Priory, Priory Terrace, and Abbey Road.
Located three miles northwest of the City of London, the priory site offers insights into medieval architectural techniques and religious practices.
Three ladies-in-waiting of Queen Matilda of Scotland established their residence at the priory, which contained a medicinal spring.
