Prittlewell Priory, Essex

Prittlewell Priory is a ruined priory at Prittlewell, Essex. It was founded in the 12th century, by monks from the Cluniac Priory of St Pancras in Lewes, Sussex. The priory church and the majority of the conventual buildings survive only as foundations and buried remains, although portions of the south and west arms of the claustral range still stand, retained within a post-Dissolution country house. The grounds around the priory became a public park in 1920. The site is within the council area of Southend-on-Sea.
Historic England Scheduled Monument 1018452.
