Brinkburn Priory

Brinkburn, United Kingdom · built 1101

Brinkburn Priory is a former monastery built, starting in the 12th century, on a bend of the River Coquet, about 4 miles (6 km) east of Rothbury, Northumberland, England. The priory church survived the dissolution of the monasteries because it was also a parish church. After decline in the post-dissolution centuries the church was restored in the 19th century. It is a grade I listed building in the care of English Heritage. Little survives of the other monastic structures, on the site of which a manor house, just south of the church, now stands.
