Bilsington Priory is a former Augustinian priory in Kent, England, about 3⁄4 mile (1 km) north of Bilsington and about 5 miles (8 km) south of Ashford. It was founded in 1253 and suppressed in the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536.
Some of its buildings survived and were converted into a farmhouse. In 1906 they were restored to designs by JT Micklethwaite. They are Grade I listed.[1] The priory is now a wedding and conference venue.[2]
