Westwood Priory

Westwood Priory (priory of St. Mary) was a priory of Benedictine nuns founded around 1160, near Droitwich, Worcestershire, England. It was a daughter house of Fontevraud Abbey.

A group from Westwood moved to Amesbury Priory when it was refounded in 1177. [ [http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=36534 British History Online: The Abbey, later Priory, of Amesbury] ]
