Coxford Priory is a Franciscan friary founded in the early fourteenth century in Norfolk, situated near East Dereham. The priory was established as a house of the Observant Franciscans and represents an important example of mendicant religious architecture from the medieval period. Substantial remains of the friary buildings survive, including sections of the church and claustral ranges, which demonstrate the scale and organisation typical of a prosperous Norfolk religious house. The site was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, and portions of the structures have been incorporated into or adapted for agricultural and domestic use in subsequent centuries.
