MenuSt Leonard's Priory, Lincolnshire
St Leonard's Priory is a ruined priory in Stamford, Lincolnshire, in the Parts of Kesteven. It was supposedly built on the site of a monastery which was founded by St Wilfrid in 658 and destroyed in the Danish invasion. It was jointly re-founded by William the Conqueror and William de St-Calais, the Bishop of Durham, around 1082 and remained a cell of Durham until its dissolution in 1538. The present Priory House was built in 1771. By 1833 the condition of the church had deteriorated to such an extent that its west front collapsed. It was rebuilt by the Marquis of Exeter in 1844. The monument is within the council area of South Kesteven (Lincolnshire).
