Overview

History & significance

Dodnash Priory is a site of a Franciscan friary established in the early fourteenth century in Suffolk. The priory was founded as a house of the Order of Friars Minor and operated until its dissolution during the Reformation in the sixteenth century. Today the site survives as earthworks and buried archaeological remains, with fragmentary stone foundations and walls visible in places, testament to the modest scale of this provincial religious foundation. The priory represents an important element of medieval East Anglian monastic settlement and continues to yield archaeological evidence of friary life and material culture.
