Markby Priory is a ruined Augustinian priory located near Markby in Lincolnshire, founded in the twelfth century as a house of regular canons. The priory was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, after which the site fell into decay and its buildings were progressively demolished or allowed to deteriorate. Surviving remains include fragmentary stonework and earthwork features that attest to its former monastic layout, though substantial architectural elements have been lost. The priory represents an important example of the numerous Augustinian establishments that were dispersed across medieval England before their suppression during the reign of Henry VIII.
