Canons Ashby Priory, Medieval Augustinian priory in Canons Ashby, England.
St Mary's Church stands as the remaining section of the original priory, featuring a tall tower and extensive whitewashed walls with painted curtain decorations.
Stephen la Leye established the priory between 1147 and 1151, which operated until the Dissolution of Monasteries in 1537 when Henry VIII granted it to Sir Francis Bryan.
The church houses two neo-classical marble tombs crafted by Rossi, along with numerous hatchments and armor pieces representing centuries of local heritage.
The National Trust manages the property, offering mobility parking spaces, accessible restrooms, and guided tours through the historic buildings and gardens.
The Norwell water supply system, permitted for construction in 1253, remains visible north of the current church structure.
