Wangford Priory

[1][2] The Priory buildings adjoined the south side of the parish church.

It is recorded within the church that the last remaining portions of the Priory were demolished in the late 19th century.

The Prior of Wangford was appointed in 1226 by Pope Honorius III to be joint Papal Commissioner along with the Abbot of Westminster and the Archdeacon of Sudbury.

The final dispossession of Wangford and the mother house of Thetford was effected in 1540 with the Dissolution of the Monasteries ordered by Henry VIII of England.
