Blyth Priory is a Benedictine monastic establishment founded in the Norman period, probably in the late eleventh century, in the parish of Blyth in Nottinghamshire. The priory was established as a daughter house of the French monastery of Holy Trinity in Rouen and served as a significant religious centre throughout the medieval period until its dissolution during the reign of Henry VIII. The surviving remains, which include parts of the priory church and associated buildings, demonstrate the architectural character typical of Norman and later medieval monastic complexes. The site represents an important example of the Anglo-Norman monastic foundations that were established across England following the Norman Conquest.
