Hurley Priory is a moated Benedictine priory founded in the tenth century, located in Berkshire alongside the Thames Valley. The site comprises the substantial earthwork remains of the monastic enclosure, including the characteristic moat that defined the priory precinct, together with associated fishponds which served both practical and economic functions typical of medieval monastic establishments. The ruins of Ladye Place Mansion occupy part of the priory grounds, representing a later secular reuse of the site following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. The monument is designated as an ancient monument of considerable historical importance, preserving significant evidence of medieval monastic life and subsequent post-Dissolution occupation.
