⛪ St Olave's Priory

St Olave's Priory was an Augustinian priory of Black Canons located in St Olaves, 6 miles (9.7 km) north-west of Lowestoft in eastern England. The site is in the county of Norfolk, although before 1974 it was part of the former Suffolk parish of Herringfleet. Founded in 1239, the priory was situated near the ancient ferry across the River Waveney. The priory of SS. Mary and Olave was founded by Sir Roger Fitz Osbert of Somerley in the time of Henry III. The remains consist of the undercroft, two aisles of the Lady Chapel, and the refectory, now a barn.
