Bilsington Priory is a Premonstratensian foundation established in the early thirteenth century in the Romney Marsh area of Kent. The priory was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and housed canons regular who followed the austere rule of the Premonstratensian order. Little of the original medieval structure survives above ground today, though earthworks and fragmentary remains indicate the former extent of the claustral ranges and associated buildings. The site was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, after which the priory lands and structures passed into private ownership and subsequent decay.
