Moatenden Priory was a priory located at Headcorn,about six miles south of Maidstone in Kent, England.
History
Founded in 1224 by Robert de Rokesley,seneshal to King Henry III, Moatenden was the first priory in England of the Trinitarian Order. The original moat (enclosing an area of 120mx110m) and fishponds are still extant but after the priory was dissolved in 1536 a farmhouse was built on the site and only fragment of the medieval structure survive.The name Moatenden does not originate from the moat itself as the name of the priory was Mottenden or Moddenden.
