Hoxne Priory, Medieval priory ruins in Hoxne, England
The remains of Hoxne Priory include visible stone foundations and a series of fishponds within two separate protected areas near the village center.
The priory began as a chapel at the site of Saint Edmund's martyrdom in 869, later becoming a dependent cell of Norwich Cathedral in 1101.
The monastic complex functioned with six to seven monks who maintained religious practices, including regular prayers and manuscript preservation in medieval Suffolk.
The archaeological site stands near Abbey Farmhouse, with access available through the main village road that defines the western boundary of the former precinct.
Records from the 14th and 15th centuries detail the priory's facilities, which included a hall, dormitory, bakehouse, dairy, and brewery for the monks.
