Thornholme Augustinian Priory is a religious house founded in the twelfth century in Lincolnshire, established as a community of Augustinian canons. The priory was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, as were all English religious foundations of this period. The site retains fragmentary masonry remains indicative of its medieval ecclesiastical function, though the extent of surviving structures reflects the considerable disruption caused by post-Dissolution demolition and agricultural use of the land. Thornholme represents an important example of the widespread network of Augustinian communities that characterised the English ecclesiastical landscape before the Dissolution.
