Ogbourne Priory

{{Short description|Benedictine priory in Wiltshire, England}} {{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}} {{Coord|51.46|N|1.72|W|type:city(500)_region:GB|display=title}} '''Ogbourne Priory''' was a priory in [[Wiltshire]], England, from the 12th century until the early 15th.

There may have been a priory building in the 13th century, perhaps attached to the manor house at either [[Ogbourne St Andrew]] or [[Ogbourne St George]]; both manors belonged to the [[Benedictines|Benedictine]] monastery [[Bec Abbey]], Normandy. Later the priory existed only as a legal name for the administration of the Bec estates in England. The last Prior of Ogbourne, William de St. Vaast, died in 1404 or 1405 and the properties were dispersed.
