Butley Priory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arms of Sir Guy Ferre (d.1323) in flushwork at Butley Priory, Suffolk: Gules, a fer-de-moline argent over all a bendlet azure

Butley Priory was a medieval monastic house in Suffolk, England. Only the gatehouse remains today, which is very well preserved and displays stone sculpted heraldic escutcheons of its many benefactors, similar to the surviving gatehouse of Kirkham Priory in Yorkshire.
