Greyfriars Priory is a Franciscan friary site located in Lincolnshire, England, founded during the medieval period as a house of the Franciscan order. The priory represents an important example of the mendicant religious establishments that proliferated across England in the later medieval centuries. Though now largely disappeared, archaeological and documentary evidence attests to its former presence and religious significance within the locality. The site survives as an archaeological monument marking the location of this dissolved religious community, which ceased to exist following the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII in the sixteenth century.
