Leonard Stanley Priory is a Benedictine monastic house founded in the early twelfth century in the parish of Leonard Stanley, Gloucestershire. The priory was established as a cell or dependency of the Abbey of Fontaines in Burgundy and remained under French control until the early fourteenth century, when it passed into English hands during the long conflict with France. The surviving remains include the substantial stone church, portions of which date from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, along with fragmentary domestic structures that testify to the monastic community's medieval occupation of the site. The priory was dissolved during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century, and the site subsequently passed into secular ownership, with parts of the medieval buildings converted to domestic use.
