Site of Legbourne Priory is a Premonstratensian house founded in the twelfth century in Lincolnshire. The priory, established for canons regular of the White Canons order, occupied a location near the village of Legbourne and represented an important religious foundation in the region during the medieval period. Little remains visible above ground today, though archaeological evidence and historical documentation attest to its former significance. The site was dissolved during the Reformation, as were all English monasteries during the sixteenth century.
