Old Buckenham Priory

The priory was founded circa 1146 by William de Albini and his wife Queen Adeliza (widow of King Henry I).

Following further donations of land and other benefactions the abbey, by 1291, held property in 42 Norfolk parishes.

The fraternity consisted of the prior and between eight and ten canons, supported by a number of temporal staff.

Following the closure Sir Edmund Knevett, of Buckenham Castle, was granted a lease of the priory lands.
