Gokewell Priory was aCistercian Catholicpriory inBroughton, Lincolnshire, England.
The priory was founded by William de Alta Ripa, and received financial support from Roger of St. Martin, Adam Paynel, and William de Romara. By 1440, the priory housed eight nuns; it was probably never much larger. On a visit, BishopWilliam Alnwick found the priory to be very poor, but in good order.
In early 1536, Gokewell Priory was permanently closed as part of theDissolution of the Monasteries ordered byKing Henry VIII.[1][2]
