Bicknacre Priory is a Benedictine priory founded in the late twelfth century in Essex. The site lies within the parish of Bicknacre, near Chelmsford, and was established as a dependent cell of Priors Dean in Hampshire. Today only fragmentary remains survive, including portions of the priory buildings and associated earthworks that indicate the extent of the monastic complex. The priory continued in occupation until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century, after which the site fell into decline.
