Deeping St. James Priory
Deeping St. James Priory was a priory in Lincolnshire, England. In 1139 Baldwin Fitz Gilbert established the Benedictine Priory of Saint James at Deeping as a cell of Thorney Abbey.[1] The cell was dissolved at the surrender of Thorney in 1539.[2][3] The priory church remains as the Church of England parish church of Deeping St James and is a Grade I listed building.[4]
The church contained an organ dating from 1902 by Abbot & Smith; a specification can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[5]
On the south-east side of the churchyard was the priory tithe barn, which measured 90 feet by 20 feet, 6 inches internally. It has variously been described as 13th century, late 15th century, or 17th century. It was demolished in 1963.[1]
There are no surface indications or remains of the monastic house.[1]
