Cannington Nunnery was established around 1138 and dissolved in 1536 in Cannington, Somerset, England.
It was attached to the Church of St Mary.[1][2]
Benedictine nuns (from Dorset), transferred to Colwich Abbey. The building was converted into a mansion and later reverted to being a nunnery.[3] It was disestablished as part of the dissolution of the monasteries in 1536.[4]
Cannington Court incorporates some of the remains.[5]
