⛪ Woodkirk Priory

Woodkirk Priory was a cell of Augustinian Canons in West Yorkshire, England. William, second earl of Warenne, had granted the land for its foundation in 1135. It was a cell of Nostell Priory. Woodkirk became the site of a fair, granted by King Henry I and confirmed by King Stephen, which was particularly famous during the reign of King Edward II. The cell was dissolved in 1539, and the property later passed to the Savile family.
