Markby Priory is a Benedictine monastery established in Lincolnshire, founded in the twelfth century as a dependent house. The priory represents an important example of monastic settlement in the East Midlands, though relatively modest in scale compared to major religious houses. Surviving remains include fragmentary masonry and earthworks that indicate the extent of the medieval religious community and its buildings. The site was dissolved during the sixteenth-century Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII, after which the priory fell into decay and abandonment.
