**Ruislip Priory** was a priory in [Middlesex](/source/Middlesex), [England](/source/England). In 1086 or 1087 the manor of [Ruislip](/source/Ruislip) was given to [Bec Abbey](/source/Bec_Abbey) by [Ernulf de Hesdin](/source/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](/source/Ogbourne_Priory) in [Wiltshire](/source/Wiltshire). As one of the [alien priories](/source/Alien_priory), 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](/source/St_Nicolas_College%2C_Cambridge).[1] St Nicolas College was later renamed King's College.
