Whitefriars Gateway is a medieval gateway structure located in South Lynn, Norfolk, dating to the late medieval period. The gateway formed part of the precinct of a Carmelite friary established in the town, and it represents surviving physical evidence of the religious architecture that once characterised Lynn's monastic landscape. The structure exemplifies the type of gatehouse typical of mendicant orders' urban settlements, which controlled access to the friars' enclosed grounds. Though substantially altered and modified over subsequent centuries, the gateway remains a notable archaeological monument documenting Lynn's medieval religious and urban development.
