The Augustinian Priory of St Mary at Merton is a religious house founded in the twelfth century in Surrey, established as a community of Augustinian canons regular. The priory occupied a site in Merton, where it functioned as an important ecclesiastical centre throughout the medieval period until its dissolution during the reign of Henry VIII in the sixteenth century. The surviving physical remains of the priory, including fragments of its monastic buildings and architectural elements, are scattered across the location and bear witness to its former status as a significant religious foundation. The site has been subject to archaeological investigation and recording, with surviving structural evidence contributing to understanding of Augustinian monastic life and organisation in medieval Surrey.
