Remains Of St Marys Priory

The remains of St Mary's Priory, originally known as The Abbey, are located on the east side of High Street in Little Walsingham. This site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and consists of the remnants of an Augustinian Priory founded around 1150, which became a significant pilgrimage center.

The most notable feature is the 15th-century gabled east wall of the church, which includes a large window, although the tracery is missing. There are also two octagonal turrets with buttresses that display flushwork and niches. The late 13th-century remains of the refectory are represented by the south and west walls, with the west wall featuring a large four-light traceried window.

To the east of the refectory lies the early 14th-century dormitory undercroft, which has two aisles of three bays, rib vaulted, supported by octagonal piers and semi-circular wall shafts. The remaining structures of the Priory are incorporated into the Abbey house. Additionally, there is a Norman doorway located east of the Priory church that has been re-erected and imported from another location; this is one of the few remnants from before the 13th century.
