Wilberfoss Priory


Wilberfoss Priory was a priory in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

A house of Benedictine nuns was founded c.1154 (before 1153) by Alan de Cotton, who granted land and property, and Jordan fitz Gilbert, who granted church etc. (which was confirmed by Henry Murdac, Archbishop of York).

at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII, it had a yearly value of £26. 10s. 8d. The house was dissolved in 1539 and granted to George Gale c.1543. The current parish church of Wilberfoss, St John's, is possibly the nave of the conventual church. In 1967 the church was designated a Grade I listed building.
