Catley Priory is a Benedictine priory located in Lincolnshire, England, founded in the twelfth century as a daughter house of Bardney Abbey. The priory was established as a small monastic community and remained modest in scale compared to larger regional foundations. Little remains of the original structures today, though archaeological investigation and documentary evidence attest to its existence and monastic function through the medieval period until its dissolution in the sixteenth century. The site represents a typical example of the smaller priories that formed part of the extensive monastic network across Lincolnshire during the Middle Ages.
