About
Thoby Priory was an Augustinian priory in Mountnessing, Essex. It was founded around 1141 and dissolved on 15 February 1525 by Cardinal Wolsey in order to fund his Cardinal College, Oxford. After dissolution, its lands and buildings passed through several owners including William Petre, and a mansion was built on the site. Today only a fragment of the priory church survives.
