Grey Friars, Winchelsea is a Franciscan friary founded in the late thirteenth century in the New Town of Winchelsea, Sussex. The site represents an important establishment of the Franciscan order in medieval England, with surviving remains including stone foundations and structural elements that testify to the friary's former extent and organisation. The friary was dissolved during the sixteenth-century Reformation, after which the site gradually fell into ruin. The surviving archaeological remains, preserved within Winchelsea's planned medieval street layout, provide evidence of monastic life and architectural practice in late medieval Sussex.
