Isleham Priory Church, Norman Benedictine priory church in Isleham, England.
The Isleham Priory Church features chalk-rubble walls, a nave, chancel, and semi-circular apse, with original narrow slit windows and limestone arched doorways.
Count Alan of Brittany established the priory around 1100, entrusting it to the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer before its conversion into a barn after the Reformation.
The structure maintains its original Norman architectural elements, including the semicircular arch dividing the nave from the chancel, supported by two intact columns.
Visitors need to collect a key from a local resident to access the interior, and wheelchair users should note the 15-centimeter wooden strip at the entrance.
The earthworks north of the church reveal traces of the priory's farming community, preserving evidence of medieval agricultural practices alongside the religious structure.
