Newark Priory is a ruined Augustinian priory located north of the River Wey near Ripley in Surrey, England. Founded in the twelfth century, the priory was established as a house of Augustinian canons and developed into a significant religious and landholding institution during the medieval period. The surviving remains include substantial stone structures that demonstrate the architectural character typical of later medieval religious foundations, with evidence of domestic and ecclesiastical buildings arranged around a cloister. The priory was suppressed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century, after which its buildings gradually fell into decay, leaving the fragmentary ruins that survive today as important archaeological remains of medieval monastic life in Surrey.
