Creake Abbey is a ruined Augustinian priory founded in the thirteenth century in the parish of North Creake, Norfolk. The surviving remains include portions of the church, cloister ranges, and ancillary buildings that demonstrate the typical monastic layout of the period. The abbey was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, after which the site was gradually dismantled and repurposed. Today the fragmentary stone foundations and wall bases provide evidence of a substantial religious community that flourished in medieval Norfolk before its suppression.
