Orford Priory

Orford Priory was a priory in Stainton le Vale, Lincolnshire, England.

The priory of Orford, in Stainton-le-Vale, was probably built some time during the reign of King Henry II by Ralf d'Albini, in honour of Blessed Mary.

A nun from Orford was excommunicated in 1491 by Bishop Redman for breach of her vow of chastity, her partner being a canon of Newsham.

There were seven nuns and a prioress when the priory was Dissolved in 1539.^[1]

The remains of the priory, and Post-medieval house and garden lie immediately south of the now derelict Priory farm.^[2]
