St Denys Priory is a medieval religious house in Hampshire of which fragmentary remains survive. The priory was founded in the twelfth century as a Benedictine establishment and functioned as a dependent cell of the Norman abbey of St Denis in France during its early years. The site, located near Southampton, preserves architectural remains indicative of its monastic past, though extensive portions have been lost to time and subsequent development. The priory represents an important example of the Norman monastic influence on the English religious landscape during the medieval period.
