Frithelstock Priory is a medieval Benedictine priory located in Devon, founded in the eleventh century and dedicated to Saint Gregory. The priory was established as a daughter house and became a significant religious centre in North Devon, maintaining possession of lands and churches across the region throughout the medieval period. Substantial stone remains survive today, including parts of the priory church and associated conventual buildings, which reflect the architectural traditions of medieval monastic design. The site was dissolved during the English Reformation in the sixteenth century, after which the buildings were adapted for secular use, with some elements incorporated into the later residential structures that occupy the location.
