Charley Priory was a small former priory in Leicestershire, England.
The exact date Charley Priory was established is unknown, but is at some point before 1190. In 1190, Petronilla de Grandmesnil, Countess of Leicester donated the priory to the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Evroul in Normandy. The gift was confirmed at the beginning of the 13th-century, with the abbey under the control of Ware Priory, a subordinate of Saint-Evroul. [1]
In 1220, while under the patronage of the Earl of Winchester, the priory is recorded as a hermitage, and as independent (no longer under the control of another abbey or priory), and as in possession of the advowson of Ratcliffe on the Wreake church. At the time 3 monks lived at the priory but it is unclear if they followed the Augustinian or Benedictine order; as a hermitage they may not have followed any definite rule. [1]
By the late 13th-century the priory was considered Augustinian, and in 1291 the abbey was valued at £9. 2s. 9½d. [1]
By 1444 the priory's poor finances had allowed the priory buildings to fall into ruins . In 1465 Sir John Bourchier petitioned the Bishop of Lincoln to allow the priory to be united with the nearby Augustinian Ulverscroft Priory. The priory was dissolved soon after, and united with Ulverscroft. [2] [1] Ulverscroft itself was dissolved in 1539.
Nothing remains of the priory buildings. The dyke however remains, showing the location of the precinct walls. [2]

The Abbot of Scone, before 1163 x 4, Prior of Scone, and then by the beginning of the 16th century, the Commendator of Scone, was the head of the community of Augustinian canons of Scone Abbey and their lands. The priory was established by King Alaxandair mac Maíl Choluim sometime between 1114 and 1120, and was elevated to the status of an abbey in 1163 or 1164. The abbey was turned into a secular lordship for William Ruthven, 1st Earl of Gowrie in 1581, but was forfeited when the earl was executed in 1584, given to William Foularton in the same year, but restored to the earl's son, James Ruthven, 2nd Earl of Gowrie. An independent secular lordship was established for David Murray in 1608.
The Abbot of Newbattle was the head of the Cistercian monastic community of Newbattle Abbey, Midlothian. It was founded by David I of Scotland in 1140.
