List of English abbeys, priories and friaries serving as parish churches
This is a list of former monastic buildings in England that continue in use as parish churches or chapels of ease. Nearly a thousand religious houses (abbeys, priories and friaries) were founded in England and Wales during the medieval period, accommodating monks, friars or nuns who had taken vows of obedience, poverty and chastity; each house was led by an abbot or abbess, or by a prior or prioress.
