Burford Priory is a historic building located in the town of Burford, Oxfordshire, England. Originally established as a hospital in the 13th century, it was later converted into a priory for the Augustinian order. The priory has undergone numerous transformations throughout its history, reflecting the changing religious and social landscape of England.

The origins of Burford Priory date back to 1242 when it was founded by Sir Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester and Hertford. Initially serving as a hospital dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, it provided care for the poor and sick. In 1401, the hospital was converted into a priory for the Augustinian canons, a change that marked the beginning of its ecclesiastical significance.

The Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII in the 16th century led to the suppression of Burford Priory, along with many other religious institutions across England. The priory's lands and buildings were subsequently granted to private owners. Over the centuries, the priory was transformed into a private residence, undergoing various architectural modifications that blended medieval and post-medieval styles.

In the early 20th century, Burford Priory gained prominence once again when it was purchased by the philanthropist and art collector, Mrs. Wilfrid Ashley. She undertook significant restoration work to preserve the historical integrity of the building. The priory's chapel, cloisters, and other architectural features were meticulously restored, ensuring that the legacy of the priory was maintained for future generations.

Today, Burford Priory stands as a testament to the rich history of Burford and the broader region of Oxfordshire. It is a Grade I listed building, recognized for its architectural and historical importance. The priory continues to attract visitors who are drawn to its storied past and the serene beauty of its surroundings.
