Ulverscroft Priory, Medieval priory ruins in Leicestershire, England.
The remains of Ulverscroft Priory include a western tower with three stages, granite walls, and sections of red brick with architectural dressings.
Founded in 1134 by Robert, Earl of Leicester, the priory functioned as an Augustinian religious house until its dissolution in September 1539.
The priory complex incorporated multiple medieval buildings, including a 13th-century guesthouse with a double purlin roof for travelers and religious visitors.
The priory ruins remain private property and contain medieval tiles in the northeast corner of the chancel along with remnants of the nave.
Fragments of carved quatrefoils and tracery decorate the partially blocked 14th-century chancel windows, preserving details of medieval craftsmanship.
