Legbourne Priory is a Benedictine priory founded in the twelfth century in the parish of Legbourne, Lincolnshire. The priory was established as a daughter house and remained in operation throughout the medieval period until its dissolution during the Reformation in the sixteenth century. The site today comprises earthwork remains and fragmentary structural evidence that reflect its former monastic layout and occupation. The priory represents an important example of medieval religious settlement in Lincolnshire and contributes to understanding the distribution of monastic houses across the East Midlands.
