Creake Abbey, Augustinian abbey ruins in North Creake, England.
The remaining stone walls and carved window arches of Creake Abbey stand alongside the River Burn, displaying traditional Norfolk flint construction techniques.
Founded as an almshouse in 1201, Creake Abbey received elevation to priory status and later became an abbey in 1231 through donations from local families.
The site maintains its connection to local commerce through monthly farmers' markets, where more than 50 vendors present regional products from East Anglia.
The abbey grounds offer free access, wheelchair-suitable paths, and a grassed parking area near modern facilities including a cafe and independent shops.
A severe outbreak of sweating sickness in 1506 eliminated the entire monastic community, with the abbot being the final member to perish.
