Whitefriars Gateway is a late medieval gatehouse located in South Lynn, Norfolk, forming part of the former Carmelite friary complex that occupied the site. The structure dates to the fifteenth century and represents the principal surviving architectural element of what was once a substantial religious house founded in the thirteenth century. Built in brick with stone detailing typical of late medieval Norfolk ecclesiastical architecture, the gateway served as the formal entrance to the friary precinct. The survival of this gateway provides important evidence of the scale and architectural quality of provincial Carmelite establishments in medieval East Anglia.
