Totnes Priory is a Benedictine monastic foundation established in Devon during the Norman period, likely in the late eleventh century. The priory was a dependent house of the Abbey of Normandy and would have served as an important religious and economic centre for the local region throughout the medieval period. Fragmentary architectural remains survive on the site, including sections of stonework that testify to the priory's former scale and construction quality. The monastic community would have been dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, as occurred across England's religious houses.
