White Ladies Priory is a ruined Augustinian nunnery, originally founded as the Priory of St Leonard at Brewood. It is situated in the far east of central Shropshire, under a mile from the Staffordshire border and 8 miles E of Telford. All that remains are the external walls of the church with, to the S, the later wall of a catholic burial ground attached. All of this is in brown sandstone, and the structure stands alone in a field accessed by a narrow lane on the N side of the minor road linking the villages of Albrighton and Bishops Wood. The church dates from the later 12thc, and originally consisted of a 3-bay chancel, short N and S transepts and a 4-bay nave. Both transepts are gone, although the elaborate entrance archto the N transept remains. At the W ends of the lateral nave walls are a pair of doorways facing one another. The N doorway led into the cloister and is descibed as processional in Newman (2006), while the facing S doorway is plainer and narrower. Romanesque features recorded here are the two nave doorways.

Following the account in VCH (1973), nothing is known of the foundation but a community of Augustinian canonesses was fully established before the end of Henry II's reign (1154-89). The site belonged to no parish or manor, being in the Forest of Brewood and VCH speculates that either the La Zouche family, the Lacys or the FitzAlans, holders of nearby lands, may have been involved in its foundation. Be that as it may, no local landowner ever claimed rights over it during vacancies. The convent was dispersed in 1538.

According to Pevsner (1958), repeated in Newmman (2006), the N nave doorway's lobed arch is familiar from the W of France, e.g. at Le Puy. The funnel-shaped ornament on the W capitals of the 1st order of the N transept arch is similar to ornament found at Buildwas Abbey. In general the capital forms, including waterleaf, flat leaf and trumpet scallops point to a date in the 1170s or '80s.
