Barnwell Priory

The Cellarer's Chequer, part of the old Barnwell Priory in January 2021

Barnwell Priory was an Augustinian priory at Barnwell in Cambridgeshire, founded as a house of Canons Regular. The only surviving parts are 13th-century claustral building, which is a Grade II* listed,[1] and remnants found in the walls, cellar and gardens of Abbey House.[2][3]

The priory was home to the Barnwell chronicler, an anonymous chronicler who wrote about the reign of King John.
