Belvoir Priory
Belvoir Priory was a Benedictine priory adjacent to Belvoir Castle.[1] Although once described as in Lincolnshire, England it is within the modern Boundaries of Leicestershire,[2] near the present Belvoir lodge.[3]
Begun in 1076 by Robert de Todeni, lord of Belvoir with the intention of being an independent Abbey, it was converted before completion into a cell of St Albans Abbey at the advice of Archbishop Lanfranc.[1] It was disestablished in 1539, as part of the closure of the parent abbey.[1]
