Priory Church

Priory Church is the name of many Christian churches which have had a connection with a priory.

Examples (arranged by order of country, then place-name) include:

France

 * Saint-Michel de Grandmont Priory, Saint-Privat, Hérault

Spain

 * Priory Church, El Puerto de Santa María

United Kingdom
When monasteries were closed in the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century, the churches were often given a new role as parish churches. At Oxford a priory church became the city's cathedral.

While priory churches are usually associated with former priories rather than active priories, a few priories have been constructed since the Reformation, for example St Dominic's Priory Church.
