Bradley Priory was an Augustinian priory in the parish of Nevill Holt, Leicestershire, England. [1]
The priory was founded between 1220 and 1234. The first mention of the priory is c. 1233–1234, when Robert Bundy (de Burnebi) is listed as patron. It is thought Robert may have been the founder of the priory. [1]
The priory was only very small and as such was not always granted its own prior. For example, John Penny served as both prior of Bradley and Abbot of Leicester Abbey. In 1535, there were only two canons at the priory and only a single child at the almonry. [1]
The priory is known to have owned a windmill at Holt since it was founded and gained the manor of Blaston in 1385. In the Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535, the priory is recorded as owning land in Blaston, Slawston, Holt and Holyoak, and had a total income of just over £20. [1]
The priory was dissolved c. 1536, and the prior was granted an annual pension of £4. [1] In 1537, the site was granted to Humphrey Nevill. [2]
The site today is occupied by Priory Farm. Nothing remains of the priory building, although earthworks exist showing the precinct boundaries. [2]

The Abbey of Saint Mary de Pratis, more commonly known as Leicester Abbey, was an Augustinian religious house in the city of Leicester, in the East Midlands of England. The abbey was founded in the 12th century by the Robert de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Leicester, and grew to become the wealthiest religious establishment within Leicestershire. Through patronage and donations the abbey gained the advowsons of countless churches throughout England, and acquired a considerable amount of land, and several manorial lordships. Leicester Abbey also maintained a cell at Cockerham Priory, in Lancashire. The Abbey's prosperity was boosted through the passage of special privileges by both the English Kings and the Pope. These included an exemption from sending representatives to parliament and from paying tithe on certain land and livestock. Despite its privileges and sizeable landed estates, from the late 14th century the abbey began to suffer financially and was forced to lease out its estates. The worsening financial situation was exacerbated throughout the 15th century and early 16th century by a series of incompetent, corrupt and extravagant abbots. By 1535 the abbey's considerable income was exceeded by even more considerable debts.
