From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clattercote Priory was a Gilbertine priory in Oxfordshire, England.

It was founded for Gilbertine canons to run a hospital in the mid-twelfth century, possibly by Robert de Chesney.[1] The hospital ceased before 1262. The priory was reestablished 1251–62, later dissolved in 1538, and granted to Thomas Lee around 1559.[2][3] In the 16th century, the priory fell into disrepair and was later pulled down; a manor house was built on its site in the 17th century.[4]
