Clattercote Priory

Last updated

Clattercote Priory was a Gilbertine priory in Oxfordshire, England.

It was founded for Gilbertine canons to run a hospital in the mid-twelfth century, possibly by Robert de Chesney. The hospital ceased before 1262. The priory was reestablished 1251–62, later dissolved in 1538, and granted to Thomas Lee around 1559. In the 16th century, the priory fell into disrepair and was later pulled down; a manor house was built on its site in the 17th century.
