Edington Priory is a Benedictine monastic foundation established in Wiltshire during the tenth century, representing an important phase of monastic expansion in Anglo-Saxon England. The priory, which operated as a dependent house under the authority of the abbey at Jumièges in Normandy, occupied a site near the present village of Edington. Although the structures themselves have not survived as substantial standing remains, archaeological and documentary evidence confirms the priory's existence and its role within the wider ecclesiastical and feudal networks of medieval Wiltshire. The site has been designated as an ancient monument in recognition of its archaeological significance and its place within the history of English monasticism.
