Snaith Priory was a Benedictine priory in Snaith, within the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The priory was located at the Church of St Lawrence in Snaith, which has been a Grade I listed building since 1967. [1] It was founded shortly after 1101, and dissolved in 1539.
Founded by Gerard, the Archbishop of York, shortly after the start of his episcopate, it was granted to the Abbot and convent of Selby. In 1292, the revenue of the church to Selby was valued at £153 6s. 8d. [2] In 1310, it was ordained for two monks from Selby to be placed in the church of Snaith, along with one secular priest. Up until this point, monks had not been resident in the priory, only visiting to perform Mass. [3] One of these monks was styled as prior, despite the small number of monks in the priory. In 1539, the priory was dissolved along with Selby, on which it was still dependent. [2] The last prior was one James Laye. [4] After the dissolution, the cell and its appurtenances were granted to John, Earl of Warwick in 1550, after which they were transferred to Francis Jobson, and various other owners subsequently.
