Esholt Priory, Cistercian priory in West Yorkshire, England.
The medieval priory complex stands in a wooded area of ash trees, where Esholt Hall was later constructed between 1706 and 1707.
Simon Warde established the religious institution in the 12th century, granting the estate to the nuns of Syningthwaite Priory with confirmations in 1172.
The priory, dedicated to St Mary and St Leonard, exemplified the Cistercian monastic tradition until its dissolution during the religious reforms of 1540.
The site, located 3 miles east of Shipley town centre, includes several Grade II listed buildings accessible through various connecting lanes.
In 1303, Prioress Juliana De La Wodehall attempted to resign following a scandal, but the bishop refused to accept her resignation.
