{{Short description|Priory in Lincolnshire, England}} {{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}} '''Covenham Priory''' was a priory in [[Covenham St Bartholomew]], [[Lincolnshire]], England.

The manor, which formed the [[Financial endowment|endowment]] of the priory of Covenham, was granted in 1082 by [[William the Conqueror]] to the abbot and convent of [[Saint Calais]], [[Le Mans]], at the request of the [[Bishop of Durham (title)|Bishop of Durham]] a former a monk of that abbey. A small [[Benedictine]] priory was built soon after, but it is probable that there were never more than two monks, or perhaps only one to take charge of the estate. By 1303 the cell had become so unprofitable it was sold to the abbot and convent of [[Kirkstead Abbey|Kirkstead]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Covenham Priory|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=38077&strquery=covenham%20priory|work=Alien Houses|publisher=Victoria County History|access-date=3 August 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite PastScape|mnumber=354719|mname=Covenham Priory|accessdate=3 August 2011}}</ref>
