Blyth Priory is a Benedictine priory founded in the late eleventh century in the village of Blyth, Nottinghamshire. The priory was established as a dependency of the Norman monastery of Holy Trinity in Rouen and developed into a significant religious house during the medieval period. The surviving remains include the parish church, which incorporates the former priory church, retaining architectural features from the Romanesque period including notable carved stonework. The priory was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, and the site subsequently passed into secular use, with elements of the original monastic structure remaining visible in the present-day landscape.
