Overview

History & significance

Limebrook Priory is a Benedictine religious house located in Herefordshire. The priory dates from the medieval period and was established as a dependent cell of a larger monastic institution. The site retains earthwork remains and structural evidence of its monastic layout, including features typical of medieval priories such as the claustral ranges and associated agricultural buildings.
