Lady Place is a former Benedictine priory in the village of Hurley on the banks of the River Thames in the English county of Berkshire. During the reign of James the Second, a vault beneath the house was the scene of frequent meetings of some of the principal nobility, calling for the Prince of Orange to take the English Throne as William III. It is even said that the principal papers which brought about the Glorious Revolution were signed in the dark recess at the extremity of the vault.

It is certain, that after King William obtained the Crown, he did visit Lord Lovelace at Ladye Place and descended with him down the dark stairs to see the vault.
