Flitcham Priory is a medieval religious house in Norfolk that was established during the medieval period and later transformed into a secular residence. The site comprises the remains of the priory together with evidence of an associated medieval settlement, reflecting the transition from monastic to domestic occupation following the dissolution of the monasteries in the sixteenth century. A substantial great house was erected on or near the priory site during the sixteenth century, demonstrating the common practice of converting former ecclesiastical estates into aristocratic and gentry residences. The monument survives as earthworks and structural remains that document both the religious and domestic phases of occupation at this significant Norfolk location.
