Up Holland Priory is a Benedictine priory founded in the twelfth century in Lancashire. The priory was established as a daughter house and developed considerable landed estates during the medieval period, becoming one of the region's significant religious houses. The site retains fragmentary architectural remains indicative of its monastic past, including elements of its ecclesiastical structures. Like many English monasteries, Up Holland Priory was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, after which the site was gradually dismantled and repurposed.
