Greyfriars, ruined Franciscan friary, Dunwich, Suffolk, 2014. The friary moved to its current site in 1290, having originally being founded on a site nearer to the sea in 1277. It closed in 1538 during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. It is one of the few remaining buildings from the once busy medieval port of Dunwich, much of which has been lost to coastal erosion.
