Ivychurch Priory was a medieval monastic house in Alderbury, southeast of Salisbury, Wiltshire, England. According to Historic England, "all that remains is a cylindrical pier with multi-scalloped capital and part of the double-chamfered arch with a respond to the west with a half-pier and capital; this is attached to the west wall of the church which retains one buttress".After the Dissolution of the Monasteries it became a private house and estate in the Herbert family. Sir Philip Sidney wrote most of his Arcadia there, and it lay within the sphere of Wilton House and the literary society which was encouraged there by Mary Sidney Herbert.
