Overview

History & significance

Latton Priory is a Benedictine priory located near Latton in Essex, England, founded in the eleventh century as a daughter house of Holy Trinity Priory in Normandy. The priory was established as a cell or dependency of its Norman parent foundation and served the local community until its dissolution during the Reformation. The surviving remains are fragmentary, reflecting the typical fate of many smaller English priories following their suppression in the sixteenth century. The site retains archaeological significance as evidence of Norman monastic expansion into Essex and the organization of the English Church in the medieval period.
