Mattersey Priory was built in 1185 and is of the Gilbertine Order, the only monastic order to have begun in England. It is dedicated to St. Helen, and the remains date to the 13th century. The church was destroyed by a fire at the end of the 1200s. The site is located down a narrow track on a farm, and some of the buildings that made up the site are located underneath the farm buildings.
There is not too much to see today.
