Sandwell Priory is a Benedictine monastery founded in the 12th century in Staffordshire, established as a daughter house of the Benedictine order. The priory was dissolved during the Reformation in the 16th century, after which its buildings fell into decay. Today the site is marked by substantial ruins, including remains of the priory church and associated monastic structures, which survive as earthworks and fragmentary stone foundations. The monument represents an important example of medieval monastic architecture and planning in the West Midlands, reflecting the religious and economic organisation of the region during the medieval period.
