Site of Fotheringhay Priory is a Benedictine monastic foundation located in Northamptonshire, established in the eleventh century as a daughter house of Saint-Saëns Abbey in Normandy. The priory was subordinate to its Norman parent foundation and served as a significant religious establishment throughout the medieval period, though it remained relatively modest in size compared to major English abbeys. The site was dissolved during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century, and today survives primarily as buried archaeological remains with minimal visible structural evidence above ground.
