Ixworth Priory was an Augustine priory at Ixworth in the English county of Suffolk. It was founded in the 12th century and dissolved in 1537.[1] The priory was dedicated to St Mary and founded by Gilbert Blundus.[2]
The original building, possibly from around 1100, may have been destroyed by a period of civil war and rebuilt on the present site on the west edge of Ixworth.[2] Remains of the priory include the almost complete east range whilst some of the west range can be found incorporated into a house, known as Ixworth Abbey.[1] Stone from the ruins of the priory was used to build Hengrave Hall north of Bury St Edmunds in the early 16th century.
