Overview

History & significance

Latton Priory is a Benedictine priory founded in the twelfth century in Essex, England. The site preserves fragmentary remains of the conventual buildings, including portions of flint and stone walling that reflect the priory's medieval construction and subsequent decay. As a religious house of moderate significance within Essex, the priory functioned until its dissolution in the sixteenth century during the Reformation. The surviving structural evidence and archaeological deposits provide testimony to monastic life and the material culture of medieval Essex.
