Swavesey Priory
Mediaeval monastic house in Swavesey, England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Swavesey Priory was a medieval monastic house in the village of Swavesey, Cambridgeshire, England. A church existed in Swavesey at the time of the Norman Conquest, when Alan, Count of Richmond, granted it to the Benedictine Abbey of St Sergius and St Bacchus in Angers, France. The Abbey founded an alien priory in Swavesey by 1086.[1] It ceased to function in 1539, during the dissolution of the monasteries. The site is now a scheduled monument.[2]
