St Ethelbert Gate is a late medieval gatehouse located in Norwich, Norfolk, forming part of the precinct wall of the former cathedral priory. The gate dates to the fifteenth century and stands as one of the principal surviving architectural features of the priory's defensive and ceremonial entrance arrangements. Constructed in flint and stone, the structure displays characteristic late medieval features and remains substantially intact, retaining its archway and fortified character. As a rare surviving example of monastic gatehouse architecture in East Anglia, it represents an important record of the physical organization and security provisions of one of Norfolk's most significant religious institutions prior to the Dissolution.
