Cranborne Priory was a priory in Cranborne in Dorset, England.
The parish's name honours Reverend Pierre-François-Xavier-Odilon-Marie-Alphonse Paradis, first priest of Saint-Odilon-de-Cranbourne, while "Cranbourne" comes from Cranborne, a village in East Dorset, England.
In 1866 he became private secretary to the secretary of state for India, Lord Cranborne (afterwards marquess of Salisbury), and in 1867 went, as in 1864, on a government mission to Venezuela.
Wimborne St Giles is a hundred and parish located in the wooded valley of the River Allen, near the royal hunting ground of Cranborne Chase.
