Old Malton Priory Church is a ruined Benedictine priory foundation located in North Yorkshire, established in the eleventh century as a cell of the monastery at Durham. The surviving remains comprise substantial portions of the medieval church structure, including sections of masonry that attest to Romanesque and Early English architectural traditions characteristic of monastic buildings of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The priory maintained significance as a religious house until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century, after which the fabric fell into decay. The extant ruins represent an important example of medieval monastic architecture and form part of the archaeological and architectural heritage of the region.
