From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Minchinhampton Priory was a priory in Gloucestershire, England.

After the Norman Conquest the manor of Minchinhampton was granted to the Benedictine nuns of Caen Abbey and later to Syon Abbey.[1] John Leland says that there may have been a site for nuns but other authors dispute this.[2]
