Llanthony Secunda Priory is a Benedictine monastery founded in the late eleventh century in Gloucestershire, established as a daughter house of Llanthony Prima in the Vale of Ewyas. The priory was strategically located in Gloucester itself to manage the extensive estates and resources of the Welsh mother house, becoming an important centre of monastic authority and landholding in the region. Founded around 1101, the priory developed into a significant establishment, though substantial architectural remains from the medieval period survive only partially, reflecting its prominence during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The site represents an important example of Norman-period monastic foundation and the architectural ambitions of the Benedictine order in the Welsh Marches during the High Middle Ages.
