Ruislip Priory

{{Use dmy dates|date=April 2022}} '''Ruislip Priory''' was a priory in [[Middlesex]], [[England]]. In 1086 or 1087 the manor of [[Ruislip]] was given to [[Bec Abbey]] by [[Ernulf de Hesdin]]. An administrative centre, it had a priory before 1200. In the early 13th century the administration of Bec's manors (over 20) was shared with [[Ogbourne Priory]] in [[Wiltshire]]. As one of the [[Alien priory|alien priories]], Ruislip shared their varying fortunes. Ruislip was always a manor-house rather than having conventual buildings. After 1404 the manors were reallocated, Ruislip going to [[St Nicolas College, Cambridge]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22121&strquery=Ruislip |title=Religious Houses: House of Knights hospitallers |author=J.
