Mottisfont Abbey is a historical priory and country estate in Hampshire, England. Sheltered in the valley of the River Test, the property is now operated by the National Trust. An Augustinianpriory was founded here in 1201 by William Briwere, a businessman, administrator and courtier to four Plantagenet kings who chose to make a public demonstration of his wealth and piety. The canons welcomed pilgrims en route to Winchester, who came to worship Mottisfont's relic, said to be the finger of St John the Baptist.
The priory was dissolved in 1536 by Hery the VIII who gave it to a favoured statesman, Sir William Sandys (died 1540), who turned the church nave into the main body of his new mansion, building with additional wings on either side. Sections of the original medieval church may still be seen, with the later additions built around them. The 13th-century cellarium also remains present today.
In the 18th century, the Tudor courtyard were demolished by the Mill family, creating the modern appearance of the house's facade.
