The Priory Church in Leominster, Herefordshire, is an Anglican parish church dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul, built around the 13th century for a Benedictine priory on a site that may have housed an earlier Anglo-Saxon monastery. Though the east end was destroyed in 1539 along with most monastic buildings, the main body of the church survived. The Norman structure was substantially altered in the Victorian era, when Sir George Gilbert Scott inserted quatrefoil piers between 1872 and 1879. Now a Grade I listed building, the church stands as a testament to medieval ecclesiastical architecture and later Victorian restoration practices.
