North Ferriby Priory was a priory in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, founded about 1160[1] by William de Vescy as a preceptory for the Knights Templar, after whose suppression it became a priory of the Austin canons.[2] According to others, it was founded about 1200 by Lord Eustace Broomfleet de Vesci.[3] One of the canons was usually appointed vicar of the church in North Ferriby. The priory was suppressed on 13 August 1536.[2] The buildings have been demolished since. The priory is still remembered in the street name "Priory Avenue" and in the "Priory Rooms" of the 20th-century village hall.
