The Priory Church of St. Anthony, Lenton is a parish church in the Church of England in Lenton, Nottingham.
The church is medieval[1] but largely a building of 1883. It was part of the monastic buildings of Lenton Priory, possibly the infirmary.
The church served as the parish church for Lenton, Nottinghamshire, until the building of Holy Trinity Church, Lenton, after which it was left partially demolished for nearly 40 years.
The restoration of the church commenced in 1883 and on 22 November a memorial stone was laid by the Lady of the Manor, Mrs. J. Sherwin Gregory, consecrated by Christopher Bishop of Lincoln, being dedicated the following year to the Church of St. Anthony, commonly known as the Priory Church.
It is part of a group of parishes which includes Holy Trinity Church, Lenton.
The church has a pipe organ by Ernest Wragg and Son dating from the 1920s. A specification and pictures of the pipe organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register
