Priory of St Pancras is a Benedictine monastic foundation located near Lewes in East Sussex, established in the eleventh century as a daughter house of the Norman monastery of Cluny. The priory was a significant religious community during the medieval period, reflecting the considerable influence of Cluniac monasticism in England following the Norman Conquest. The surviving remains include substantial fragments of the priory church and associated monastic buildings, which demonstrate the architectural character typical of Cluniac establishments. The site was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, after which the buildings fell into decay, though portions of the medieval stonework remain visible and form an important archaeological record of monastic life in Sussex.
