Beeston Regis Priory is a Benedictine priory founded in the twelfth century in Norfolk. The house was established as a daughter priory, likely connected to Norwich Cathedral Priory, and served the local community until its dissolution in the sixteenth century during the Reformation. Little of the original monastic buildings survives above ground, though archaeological investigation and earthwork remains attest to its layout and extent. The site lies in the parish of Beeston Regis near Cromer on the Norfolk coast, where fragmentary ruins and foundations preserve evidence of medieval religious settlement.
