Priory of St Pancras is a Benedictine priory founded in the eleventh century at Lewes in Sussex, established as a daughter house of Cluny Abbey in Normandy. The priory became one of the most important monastic foundations in Sussex and exercised considerable spiritual and temporal authority throughout the medieval period. The site retains fragmentary architectural remains including portions of the priory church and associated monastic buildings, which reflect its significance as a major religious centre during the High and Late Medieval periods. The priory was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, after which its buildings were progressively demolished or converted to secular use.
