Limebrook Priory is a Benedictine priory located in Herefordshire that was founded in the twelfth century. The site preserves remains of the monastic buildings, including parts of the priory church and associated structures that reflect the architectural traditions of medieval religious communities. The priory operated as a dependent house and represents an important element of Herefordshire's monastic landscape during the medieval period. The surviving stonework and earthwork features provide evidence of the scale and organisation of the establishment before its dissolution during the Reformation.
