Selborne Priory is a Benedictine monastic house founded in the twelfth century in the parish of Selborne, Hampshire. The priory was established as a cell dependent upon the Norman abbey of Tiron in France, and operated throughout the medieval period until its dissolution in 1486 when it was absorbed into Winchester College. Substantial remains of the priory buildings survive, including parts of the church and cloister ranges, which reflect the typical layout and construction methods of a small medieval Benedictine establishment. The site retains considerable archaeological and architectural importance as evidence of monastic life in southern England during the medieval period.
