Carrow Priory is a Benedictine priory founded in the late eleventh century, located near Norwich in Norfolk. The surviving remains comprise substantial portions of the conventual buildings, including significant fragments of the medieval stonework that testify to the priory's former importance as a religious house. The site was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, and the standing ruins today represent what endured from the original medieval complex. The priory's physical remains provide evidence of the architectural development and monastic life characteristic of East Anglian religious communities during the medieval period.
