Priory of St Mary in the Meadow, Beeston Regis, 13th century Augustinian priory ruins in Beeston Regis, England.
The priory ruins contain a long aisleless nave leading to the chancel, with north and south transepts revealing the original monastic layout.
Margery de Cressy established the priory in 1216 for four canons who followed the rule of St Augustine and belonged to the Order of Peterstone.
The canons served as parish priests for nearby churches and operated a boys' school that provided education for both boarding and day students.
Visitors can access the ruins during daylight hours throughout the year, with directional signs guiding them from the A149 road.
The priory structure contains the earliest medieval bricks found in their original location throughout Norfolk, including preserved 14th-century arcading.
