Ewenny Priory
Ewenny Priory, in the
Vale of Glamorgan,
Wales, was a
monastery of the
Benedictine order, founded in the
12th century. The building was unusual in having military-style defences. Following the
Dissolution of the Monasteries, the priory, like many of its kind, was converted into a private house. However, the priory church is still in use, and restoration work has recently been carried out by
Cadw.
