St Mary's Priory is a Benedictine alien priory located near St Mary's Church in Kent, England. Founded as a dependency of a Norman French monastery, the priory functioned as part of the network of alien religious houses established in England following the Norman Conquest, maintaining ties to its mother house across the Channel. The site dates from the medieval period, with its significance lying in its role within the English feudal ecclesiastical system and its connection to the broader patterns of Norman monastic settlement. Though now largely fragmentary, archaeological and documentary evidence has permitted its identification and scheduling as a protected monument of national importance.
