Plympton Priory is a Benedictine priory founded in the eleventh century in the parish of Plympton in Devon. The priory was established as a cell of the monastery of Montacute in Somerset and became an important religious house within the county. The surviving remains, situated within the historic town of Plympton, include substantial fragments of the priory church and associated claustral buildings, which demonstrate the scale and architectural quality of this medieval establishment. The priory remained in occupation until its dissolution during the Reformation in the sixteenth century.
