Llanthony Priory, located in the picturesque Vale of Ewyas in the Black Mountains of Wales, is one of the earliest Augustinian houses established in Britain. Founded around 1118, it became renowned for its beautiful setting and significant architectural features, including a stunning church built between 1180 and 1230, showcasing a blend of Norman and Gothic styles.
Despite its initial prosperity and royal patronage, the priory faced challenges due to its remote location, leading to periods of decline and eventual abandonment after the Dissolution. Today, the remaining ruins reflect its historical significance and the architectural sophistication of its time, drawing visitors interested in history and heritage.
