Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological and architectural survey was carried out at St Mary’s Priory Church, Canons Ashby, in 1988-9 in advance of restoration by the National Trust. The survey contributed to the reconstruction of the configuration of the 13th century Augustinian priory which originally occupied the site. Historical sources document the foundation of the priory in the mis-12th century, and a major period of church and conventual building in the 13th century. Archaeological work showed that the familiar pattern of a priory church flanked by a square cloister with east, west and south ranges, was probably followed at Canons Ashby. Ironstone footings of part of the church, claustral and other buildings were exposed, suggesting that an alley bordered the west and south ranges of the cloister, and revealing the morphology and dimensions of the south range of the priory. Excavations also confirmed that the church was reduced to its present state at the Dissolution, with the demolition and subsequent levelling and robbing of the claustral ranges. Adjacent to the north side of the tower, a plain tiled floor of late 16th/early 17th century date was revealed, corroborating Baker’s account that a building was formerly attached to this part of the church.
