Binham Priory is situated close to the Norfolk town of Binham and was founded in the late 11th century by a nephew of William the Conqueror, Pierre de Valoines. After surrendering to Henry VII, as part of the dissolution of the monasteries in 1540, the monastic buildings were mostly pulled down but are still used as a place of worship today. In the summer months services are held at the open air alter and the Priory also plays host to a number of concerts in its beautiful location.
