Wenlock Priory

|
|
One of the most historic monastic sites in England, Wenlock Priory was founded in the year 680 AD by the King of Mercia, Merewalh, for his daughter Milburga, who served as abbess until her death in 722. Milburga was acclaimed a saint after her death. Milburga's abbey was destroyed around 874 by the Danes, but was eventually refounded as a Minster by Leofric of Mercia around 1050. Sometime after the Norman Conquest the Minster was once again refounded, this time as a Cluniac priory.
