Coxford Priory is a ruined Augustinian priory located near East Dereham in Norfolk, founded in the early thirteenth century as a house of Augustinian canons. The priory was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, and substantial remains of its medieval buildings survive, including portions of the church, cloister ranges, and associated structures. The site demonstrates the characteristic architectural layout of a canonical community, with evidence of both Romanesque and Gothic phases of construction. Coxford represents an important example of the monastic landscape that once dominated medieval Norfolk before the upheaval of the Dissolution.
