Modeney Priory

Benedictine priory in Norfolk

Modeney Priory—also spelled Modney and Modeny—was a Benedictine priory in the civil parish of Hilgay, Norfolk, England. Located less than a mile east of the River Great Ouse, Modeney Priory was a cell of Ramsey Abbey. Modeney Priory was founded before 1291 and dissolved c. 1536. Its former location is now occupied by Modney Hall farmhouse. According to field research undertaken by Historic England in 1976: "There are no surface structural remains of the priory. Modney Hall has an 18th/19th century brick cased exterior, but according to a former owner parts of the interior date to the 15th [century]."
