Newark Priory is an Augustinian priory situated north of the River Wey in Surrey, England, founded in the twelfth century as a house of regular canons. The priory was established by Ruald, a hermit, and developed into a significant religious community with substantial buildings, though the community remained relatively modest in size throughout the medieval period. The surviving remains, which include fragmentary stonework and earthwork features, attest to the priory's medieval character and construction techniques typical of twelfth and later medieval religious houses. The site was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, after which the buildings fell into decay, leaving only the archaeological traces visible today.
