Marham Abbey is a Benedictine monastery founded in Norfolk during the twelfth century. The abbey was established as a daughter house and became an important religious institution in East Anglia, though it remained relatively modest in scale compared to some of its contemporary foundations. The surviving remains comprise fragmentary masonry and earthworks that reflect the typical layout of a medieval monastic precinct. The site was dissolved during the sixteenth-century Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII, after which the buildings fell into ruin.
