Nunnery at Minster Abbey is a monastic site located on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, England. The nunnery was founded in the seventh century and represents one of the early Anglo-Saxon religious establishments in southern England. The site preserves remains of the abbey church and associated monastic buildings, reflecting the architectural and spiritual development of a Benedictine community that played a significant role in the Christianization of Kent during the Anglo-Saxon period. The surviving structures and archaeological deposits provide evidence of continuous religious occupation and building activity through the medieval period until the dissolution of the monasteries in the sixteenth century.
