Crabhouse Priory

Crabhouse Priory was a medieval monastic house in Norfolk, England. The Priory of St Mary the Virgin and St John the Evangelist was a House of Augustinian Nuns founded in the late 12th Century in the south of the Parish of Wiggenhall (now the Parish of Wiggenhall St Mary Magdalen). This site is now on the west bank of the Great Ouse between King's Lynn and Downham Market in the County of Norfolk. When the Priory was founded, the Great Ouse did not flow this way, and a little old watercourse was in the marsh ground that is now Stowbridge.
