Swine Priory, Medieval priory in Swine, England
The priory church features eight carved wooden misericords dating from the late 14th century, displaying religious and secular themes in their carvings.
Robert de Verli established the priory before 1154, creating a dual monastery housing both men and women under the oversight of Fountains Abbey.
The remaining church structure incorporates architectural elements from both the parish and monastic sections, reflecting medieval religious architectural practices.
The site includes visible earthworks, fishponds, drains, and a moat, allowing visitors to understand the original layout of the medieval religious complex.
The priory's layout reversed traditional church orientation, with lay facilities at the east end and nun's section west of the central crossing tower.
