Dunstable Priory

Dunstable Priory was an Augustinian Priory founded in 1132 by King Henry I with the Romanesque church mostly surviving a dramatic storm that destroyed much of the Priory. The west front was rebuilt in the 13th century in the Early English style. It was dissolved in January 1540 and the nave was blocked at the rood screen to create a much smaller parish church of St.Peter. The monastic buildings were robbed for building stone and only the church and a gateway survive.
