Overview

History & significance

Bullington Priory is a Gilbertine priory founded in the twelfth century in Lincolnshire. The house was established as a double monastery, following the rule of the Gilbertine order, which combined communities of both monks and nuns under a single governance structure unique to England. The priory remains visible today as earthwork and structural remains, testament to its medieval occupation and subsequent abandonment. Like many religious houses, Bullington was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, though archaeological traces of its layout and buildings persist on the Lincolnshire landscape.
