Benedictine priory in Herefordshire, England

**Kilpeck Priory** was a [Benedictine](/source/Benedictines) priory in [Kilpeck](/source/Kilpeck), [Herefordshire](/source/Herefordshire), [England](/source/England), at [grid reference](/source/Ordnance_Survey_National_Grid) [SO448303](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Kilpeck_Priory&params=51.968419_N_2.804898_W_region:GB_scale:25000).[1]

In 1134, William, son of Norman, gave the church of St David, Kilpeck, and the Chapel of St Mary to [Gloucester Abbey](/source/Gloucester_Abbey), and a Priory cell was established about 400 yards South East of the church, to house some monks displaced from [Llanthony Priory](/source/Llanthony_Priory) by attacks of the Welsh. In 1428 the church was united to Gloucester.

In 1320, there was a chantry chapel in the forest of [Treville, Herefordshire](/source/Treville%2C_Herefordshire), and its control was later disputed between Sir Baldwill of Trevville and the Prior of Kilpeck Priory.[2]

Members of the archaeology section of the [Woolhope Naturalists' Field Club](/source/Woolhope_Naturalists'_Field_Club) visited the site on 18 March 1979. Earthworks lie about seventy yards to the SSW of Priory Farm and are a slight platform and banks, so maybe the remains of the priory. The ground slopes away to the SW of the farmhouse and there appears to be a fishpond towards the lower part of the slope, now dry.
