Bromholm Priory, Medieval monastery ruins in Bacton, England

The stone ruins of Bromholm Priory include a gatehouse, Chapter House, and northern transept of the original Priory Church, situated on Abbey Farm.

Founded in 1113 by William de Glanville, Lord of Bacton, the priory operated until its suppression in 1536 during the dissolution of monasteries.

The Bromholm Psalter, dating from the early fourteenth century, represents the spiritual and artistic production of the monastic community.

The Grade I listed structure stands at coordinates 52.84583, 1.48462, with its ruins open for exploration and historical research purposes.

During World War II, the base of the central tower underwent modifications to function as a military pillbox for defensive purposes.
