Long Bennington Priory was a priory in Lincolnshire England. The church at Long Bennington was granted by Ralf de Fougères to the Cistercian abbey of Savigny in 1163 But it seems that the priory did not come into existence until around the end of the twelfth century.There is mention of a warden or keeper of the house appointed from Savigny on the Patent Rolls of 1319 and 1323. It is believed there was only one monk in residence there.
