Pleasington Priory, Catholic church in Pleasington, England.
The priory features a polygonal apse with five-light Perpendicular windows, three-order portal flanked by octagonal turrets, and a large rose window.
John Francis Butler commissioned the construction of Pleasington Priory between 1816 and 1819 for £23,000, following his survival of a hunting accident.
Inside the church, two relief sculptures depict the Beheading of St John and Mary Magdalene, while three statues rest on corbels above the entrance.
The Grade I listed building contains seventeen war graves commemorating service personnel from both World War I and World War II.
Each entrance turret includes a niche that displays inscriptions acknowledging both the architect John Palmer and the sculptor of the building.
