Easebourne Priory was a priory in Easebourne, West Sussex, England.
The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built as an Augustinian nunnery for a prioress and ten nuns. It was founded before 1238 by the de Bohun family of St. Ann’s Hill in nearby Midhurst, probably by John de Bohun who fought at Crecy.[1][2]
It may have been refounded in the 15th century and became Benedictine.[3]
In 1536, following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Easebourne Priory was granted to William FitzWilliam, 1st Earl of Southampton, along with other properties,
Claustral remains are now incorporated into a Grade I listed house built on the south side of St Mary's church.[4][3] The restored refectory is now in parochial use.[1]
