Burwell Priory was a priory in the village of Burwell, Lincolnshire, England.
The priory was built around 1110 for Benedictine monks, by Ansgot of Burwell, who addressed his charter to Robert, Bishop of Lincoln 1094-1123.
The priory motherhouse was Grande-Sauve Abbey, in Aquitaine, France, which at the time was ruledRead more
by the Kings of England. When England and France went to war, the priory came under threat and was seized in 1337 and again in 1342, but restored when the Prior swore allegiance to the King. However, in 1386 the priory was again seized, and conclusion of the war meant that it was considered an alien cell. On the death of Prior Peter de Monte Ardito in 1427, the priory was found to be in a ruinous state, and it was dissolved with the land being granted to the college of Tattershall.
After this the lands were granted to Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk.
