Pinley Priory is a Cistercian nunnery founded in the twelfth century in Warwickshire. The priory was established as a house for Cistercian nuns and operated until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. Following the Dissolution, the site was adapted for secular use and developed as a garden landscape. The surviving earthworks and archaeological remains preserve evidence of both the monastic structures and the later post-Dissolution occupation of the site, making it of significance for understanding both religious life and landscape transformation during the early modern period.
