Dodnash Priory is a Franciscan friary established in the 14th century near Lavenham in Suffolk. The site, now largely lost to agriculture, was founded as a house of Friars Minor and functioned as a religious community until its dissolution in the 16th century during the Reformation. Archaeological investigations and documentary evidence have revealed the scale of the establishment, which occupied a significant area and included conventional monastic buildings. The surviving physical remains are fragmentary, though the site retains archaeological potential for furthering understanding of medieval mendicant communities in East Anglia.
