Barlinch Priory is a Premonstratensian foundation established in Somerset during the late twelfth century, likely founded in the 1180s as a house of regular canons. The priory occupied a site in the Exe valley near Dulverton and functioned as a religious community until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. Substantial remains of the priory buildings survive, including parts of the church and claustral structures that testify to the establishment's medieval layout and construction. The site preserves evidence of the priory's stone-built architecture and its role as a significant religious and landholding institution within medieval Somerset.
