The Augustinian Priory of St Mary at Merton is a medieval religious foundation located in Surrey, established as a house of Augustinian canons. Founded in the twelfth century, the priory became one of the significant religious communities in medieval Surrey, operating until its dissolution during the Reformation in the sixteenth century. The site preserves archaeological remains indicative of a substantial monastic establishment, with physical evidence of structures characteristic of priories of this order. The monument represents an important example of the Augustinian presence in southern England and contributes to understanding the broader pattern of monastic settlement and organisation in the medieval landscape.
