Lenton Priory is a Cluniac monastery founded in Nottinghamshire during the late eleventh century, established circa 1108 as a daughter house of the Cluniac order. The priory was a significant religious establishment throughout the medieval period until its dissolution in 1538 during the Reformation. Fragmentary remains of the priory survive at the site, including sections of stone walls and foundations that attest to its former architectural importance. The surviving structures demonstrate the typical arrangement of a medieval monastic complex, with evidence of both domestic and ecclesiastical buildings that characterised Cluniac foundations in Norman England.
