Bromholm Priory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bromholm Priory was a Cluniac priory, situated in a coastal location near the village of Bacton, Norfolk, England
Bromholm Priory was founded in 1113 by William de Glanvill, and was originally subordinate to Castle Acre Priory. The priory was suppressed in 1536. All that now remains are ruins.
It was an important object of pilgrimage as it claimed to possess a piece of the True Cross. It was a benefice of the Paston family and is featured in their letters.
