Overview

History & significance

Haltemprice Augustinian priory is a monastic house located near Cottingham in the East Riding of Yorkshire, founded in the twelfth century as a community of Augustinian canons regular. The priory followed the Rule of St Augustine and would have functioned as a centre of religious observance and learning throughout the medieval period until its dissolution during the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Substantial remains of the priory buildings survive, including elements of the church and claustral ranges, demonstrating the architectural character typical of late medieval Augustinian communities in northern England. The site represents an important example of the monastic archaeology of Yorkshire and retains considerable archaeological potential for understanding the development and daily life of an Augustinian community.
