Moatenden Priory

Moatenden Priory was a priory about six miles south of Maidstone in Kent, England.

History

Founded in 1224, Moatenden was the first priory in England of the Trinitarian Order. The original moat (enclosing an area of 120mx110m) and fishponds are still extant but after the priory was dissolved in 1536 a farmhouse was built on the site and only fragment of the medieval structure survive.
