Thornholme Priory is a ruined Augustinian priory located in Lincolnshire, founded in the twelfth century as a house of canons regular. The priory was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, and today the site comprises substantial fragmentary remains of the religious buildings set within earthwork enclosures that indicate the extent of the medieval complex. The surviving stonework and archaeological features provide evidence of the priory's layout and construction, reflecting the architectural conventions typical of Augustinian establishments of the period. The site remains of archaeological and historical significance as a record of monastic settlement and organisation in medieval Lincolnshire.
