Alvecote Priory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alvecote Priory is a ruined Benedictine Priory in Alvecote, Warwickshire, England. Now very little remains of the priory, most of the walls have been eroded but a fairly high wall remains on one side. The main entrance arch is the most impressive feature, still standing at around 20 feet (6.1 m) high.
It was founded 1159 by William Burdett as a dependency of Great Malvern Priory.
The priory house (ruin in 1965) was built from the stone of the old Benedictine Priory.
