# List of monastic houses in Lincolnshire

The following is a list of monastic houses in Lincolnshire, England.
One unusual feature is the large number in the Witham Valley
Alien houses are included, as are smaller establishments such as cells and notable monastic granges (particularly those with resident monks), and also camerae of the military orders of monks (Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller). Monastic hospitals are included where they had the status or function of an abbey, priory, or preceptor/commandery.
