Overview

History & significance

Barlings Priory is a Premonstratensian monastery founded in the 12th century in Lincolnshire, established as a house of canons regular following the rule of the Norbertine order. The priory developed into a significant religious house of considerable wealth and influence throughout the medieval period until its dissolution during the Reformation under Henry VIII. Fragmentary remains survive at the site, including sections of stonework that attest to the scale of the former conventual buildings. The priory's archaeological significance lies in its evidence for the material culture and spatial organisation of a major religious community within the East Midlands.
