Little Dunmow Priory in Little Dunmow was an Augustinian priory in Essex, England. According to local legend, it is said to be the resting place of Maid Marion. The lady chapel of the Priory is still in use today as the village parish church. The Augustinian priory dates back to 1106.[1]

The plan of the priory was determined by excavation in 1913 - 1914.
