Lewisham Priory
Lewisham Priory was a medieval monastic house in London, England.
The history of the manor of Lewisham dates back to the middle of the 10th century, when it was granted to St Peter's Abbey in Ghent. The location of the medieval Lewisham Priory is unknown but has variously been suggested to be either next to St Mary's church, at Priory Farm (around the Catford section of the South Circular), or on the High Street where the 17th century mansion of the same name would be built (now Albacore Crescent south of the hospital).
