St Mary's Carmelite Friary and holy well is a monastic site in Norfolk dating to the medieval period. The friary was established by the Carmelite order, known as the White Friars, and represents an important example of mendicant religious architecture in East Anglia. The associated holy well reflects the spiritual significance of the location and the site's role as a place of pilgrimage and devotion. The friary's remains and the holy well survive as evidence of Norfolk's rich medieval monastic heritage, though the structures have been substantially altered or demolished since the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
