White Ladies Priory is a ruined Benedictine nunnery situated near Broseley in Shropshire, founded in the twelfth century as a daughter house of Alberbury Priory. The priory takes its name from the white habits worn by the Benedictine sisters who inhabited the site. The surviving ruins comprise fragments of the priory church, including portions of stone walls and architectural elements characteristic of medieval ecclesiastical construction. The site remained in use until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century, after which it gradually fell into decay.
