Farewell Priory
52°42′08″N 1°52′42″W / 52.7023°N 1.8783°W Farewell Priory was a priory in Staffordshire, England.
It was founded at Farewell by Roger de Clinton, Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry (1129 – 48). The nunnery was originally established as an abbey but was later recorded as a Benedictine priory. The priory was dissolved in 1527 and the income granted to Lichfield Cathedral to support their choristers. In 1550 the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield granted the lands of the former priory to William, Lord Paget.
