We started our Norfolk tour at Creake Abbey, originally St. Mary of the Meadows, an Augustinian priory founded in 1227 by Sir Robert de Nerford. There was a fire in 1484 and the Abbey was dissolved after a plague in 1506, but it has reasonably well-preserved monastic remains:-

I love ecclesiastical ruins and haven’t heard of Creake Abbey before. Next time I’m in Norfolk I’ll add to my interesting places to visit list. Very much like your photos and the greeness of summer surrounding the stones.
Hello, Charles,
Thank you for your comments…..and I wonder if you’ve read Sebald’s Rings of Saturn? Such a fascinating history of Norfolk…….
Robert
Yes, indeed, I bought it in the East Anglia section of Stanford’s travel bookshop as if it was a travel guide, not a great work of literature
