Former priory in Dorset

**Frampton Priory** was a [Benedictine](/source/Order_of_St._Benedict) [priory](/source/Priory) in England, near the village of [Frampton](/source/Frampton%2C_Dorset) in [Dorset](/source/Dorset) and mentioned in the [Domesday Book](/source/Domesday_Book). The priory was subordinate to the [Abbey of Saint-Étienne](/source/Abbey_of_Saint-%C3%89tienne%2C_Caen), in [Caen, Normandy](/source/Caen).

The land on which the priory stood was given to the Browne family after King [Henry VIII](/source/Henry_VIII)'s [Dissolution of the Monasteries](/source/Dissolution_of_the_Monasteries). Robert Browne built his residence Frampton Court at the priory's former location in 1705.[1][2] Frampton Court was demolished in 1932.[3]
