Luffield Priory


Luffield Priory was a monastic house in Luffield Abbey, straddling the counties of Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire, England.
The priory was founded by Robert [de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester] between 1118 and 1135, and dissolved 1494.
Though the vast majority of the priory's land and buildings were in Buckinghamshire, the church itself stood in Northamptonshire; consequently it was the Archdeacon of Northampton who inducted Priors.
