Maxstoke Priory is a fourteenth-century Augustinian priory situated in Warwickshire, founded in the 1340s as a house for canons regular. The priory stands within a substantial moated enclosure that protected the religious community and their domestic buildings, a defensive feature characteristic of certain ecclesiastical establishments of the medieval period. The site retains significant structural remains including portions of the priory church and associated monastic buildings, which demonstrate the scale and importance of this minor religious house. The moat itself represents both a practical water supply and boundary marker, features typical of fourteenth-century monastic planning in the English Midlands.
