Cornworthy Priory is a medieval religious house located in Devon, England, founded as a priory in the twelfth century. The site preserves substantial remains of its stone buildings, including elements of the priory church and domestic structures that demonstrate the architectural character typical of smaller monastic establishments of the period. As a dependent house within the Benedictine tradition, it served the spiritual and economic needs of its locality until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. The surviving fabric provides evidence of medieval monastic organisation and construction practices in the West Country.
