Nostell Priory Farm is a site associated with the medieval Augustinian priory founded in the twelfth century at Nostell in West Yorkshire. The priory, established as a house of canons regular, was one of several significant religious foundations in Yorkshire and functioned as both a spiritual and economic centre until its dissolution in the sixteenth century. The surviving structures on the farm reflect the post-medieval adaptation of the priory site, with buildings incorporating or built from material derived from the original medieval complex. The site retains archaeological and architectural evidence of its monastic past, though much of the medieval fabric was lost following the Dissolution.
