Lenton Priory
Lenton Priory was a Cluniac monastic house in Nottinghamshire, founded by William Peverel ''circa 1102-8''.

From the 13th-century the priory struggled financially and was noted for "its poverty and indebtedness". The priory was dissolved as part of Henry VIII of England, King Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries.
