Stone Priory was a priory founded at Stone in Staffordshire, England, in about 670 AD.[1] The priory's church was dedicated to Saint Mary and Saint Wulfad,[1] a local seventh-century martyr and supposedly a son of King Wulfhere of Mercia, who ruled from 658 until his death in 675. The mid-15th century Rimed Chronicle of Stone Priory, found at the Priory at the Dissolution of the Monasteries, records the founding legend and the names of the Stafford family patrons up to 1403, and the places of their burials.
