Horton Priory is a medieval religious house located in Kent, England. The priory was founded during the medieval period and functioned as a monastic community until its dissolution. The site preserves earthwork remains and structural elements that testify to its former significance as a religious establishment within the Kent landscape. Like many English priories, Horton experienced the upheaval of the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII in the sixteenth century, after which the site gradually fell into ruin.
